    Need help sexing an 8-week-old buff orpington(?) chick

    Some quick background: My in-laws bought three chicks from Bomgaar's (farm and ranch supply chain for those that don't know) to add to our flock. They were labeled as lavender orpingtons, and the employee helping my FIL said they were lavender orpingtons, but I'm certain they must have been...

    Roo’d awakening time? 8 weeks - genders/breeds?

    First of all, please forgive the mess. We’ve had SO much rain and I took these before tidying the run. 🤭 These babies will soon have a huge new run and coop and get to integrate with our other babies! However… We need to know who we need to try to rehome or cull, roos-wise. The problem is they...

    So confused! What do I have here?

    Super newbie chick mama! I have what I was told was a BR pullet from a farm store bin. I got her/he with a bunch of mixed breeds that are all within days apart. It immediately grew to be almost twice the size as the others and has never really stayed hunched over, I barely caught the pic I...

    Cockerel or pullet?

    Hello! I need help identifying whether this little one is a cockerel or pullet. I’m not used to this type of breed, and it’s the only one that hatched of this type. It’s about 10 weeks old and hasn’t crowed yet, and we haven’t caught it in a fight. It’s very calm. I would guess that it’s a...

    Is this a Cockerel or Pullet? Hmmm 🤔

    Hello Chicken Fam! So I ordered my chicks from Cackle Hatchery, their City Town Special- 3 where I can order 3 of the breeds they offer, and I bought an Easter Egger, Blue laced Wyandotte and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Well, I ordered 3 and received an extra Silver Laced Wyandotte. From the very...

    Thorin confuses me...

    This is Thorin, the 18 week old EE. Thorin confuses me. S/he has never crowed or danced, but also is much more standoffish than his hatch mates that are hens... He is not colored like any of the other EEs i have either, hen or roo.... So.... Cockerel or pullet?

    What breed and gender? 5-6 weeks

    This was a chick that was given to me by a neighbor who didn’t want him/her. Some breed ideas have been thrown around but I was wondering what breed it looks to be now? Also what gender does everyone think he/she is? Age estimated at almost 6 weeks old. TIA!

    Pullets or Cockerels? Key for integration!

    I have five, 8-week olds with momma in a run adjacent to the rest of my flock. Broody hen is DONE with the rowdy teenagers and wants back with the flock... But I fear there is only one pullet in the batch and don't want to leave that one to be integrated on it's own in a couple of weeks. So -...

    Cockerel?

    Still hoping I am wrong but today Nina’s 3.5 week old EE comb is looking awfully pink to me I think I see reddish feathers coming in on the neck/shoulders too, but not sure if this the same male feather trait I’ve seen mentioned in other threads?

    Lavender Cochins - Cockerel or Pullet - 11-12 weeks old

    First time with Cochins. I was hoping for pullets. Out of a batch of 7 chicks, 2 Wyandottes are definitely cockerels. This morning, I caught one of my lavender cochins crowing too. Trouble is I have two, and they look very similar, so I'd like those more knowledgeable to weigh in and...

    Pullet or cockerel? Rhode Island Red, 5 months old.

    Hello dear community, It's my first time raising chickens and first time posting here. I purchased these 7 Rhode island Red chickens and now they are about 5 months (19 weeks old). I noticed some of them have larger combs and wattle and I suspect they must be Male. Do you confirms this...

    Pullet Or Cockerel?

    I have a 11 week old chicken, who has shown no obvious cockerel behaviour or cockerel feathering. When compared to my other 11 week old cockerels, this chicken is slower in growth has thinner legs and its comb has not grown much. Please see below pictures. Please let me know what you think...

    Light Brahma pullet or cockerel?

    This is Pikachu. (my daughter named him/her). I thought it was a cock but now I'm almost thinking it's a pullet. The hackle feathers are really the only tell I have at this point and nobody in my family has any idea. We got Pikachu about a week after mothers day, so he/she is about 7 weeks old...

    Buff Orpington - 4.5 week old Cockerel or Pullet?

    Hello all! I am brand new to raising chickens (this is my first batch) and loving it! We got 4x day old chicks and I'm starting to think that my buff orpington is a roo... Wondering if someone more experienced with this breed has any insight. I have been holding out hope that (s)he may grow...

    Confusing EE/Did I end up with all boys!?

    This little chick has me confused. When it was little I thought for sure it was a cockerel because it and a couple other chicks grew incredibly fast and nearly doubled in size quite rapidly, looked massive compared to the other chicks, and it had a very wide comb and thick legs, and I thought...

    Pullet or Cockerel? (#2)

    Hello! I’ve got another young one that I can’t seem to tell if it’s a pullet or cockerel? Mind helping me out? :) (I was thinking cockerel at first, but now I notice, it’s saddle feathers are a little more rounded off, although it is still only a few months old)

    Confirm on gender please!

    Sold to me as an Ameraucana (looks like one), roughly 19 weeks old.. the tail feathers are worrying me along with my one cockerels behaviour today towards this one. S/he has a severe scissor beak so it’s difficult to know for sure as it’s harder to prune the feathers with a beak like that...
