Hello. Here are 6 of the 8 new chicks we adopted from my sons classroom. I am still waiting for more information from the teacher regarding the breeds of the black ones but we have 1 zombie and 1 barred rock. 2 not pictured are Cream legbar but was told they were auto sexed so know those are at...
Bought 8 (pullets) from Rural King back in Mid March. Wondering if this little one is a pullet or cockerel? By the size of the comb I’m leaning towards it being a cockerel. I’m new to all of this so would love some feedback.
4 weeks old yesterday.
Thank you all.
We hatched out a Green Queen (mom) and EE (dad) cross chick. Now that we are at 7 weeks hoping we can get some guesses if it’s a cockerel or pullet.
We go back and forth between the two as it gets older. Mostly leaning towards cockerel though. Hoping for a pullet.
I have three hatchery SLW. The one single comb I feel is obvious rooster. The other two I think one may be a rooster one a pullet. Any input? I got them end of February
I know everyone keeps saying that chicks have to be at least 6 weeks old before you can tell their gender. However, I have one sweetheart named Ursula and they are just soooo much different than their counterparts.
They turned 4 weeks old this past Monday. I have 7 Brahmas altogether and...
It is still kind of early, these chicks are only about 4-5 weeks old. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a couple of these chicks are cockerels, as I have started noticing a difference in their combs already.
The first pictures are the chicks who I think have noticeably bigger/pinker...
I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte chicken which a broody hatched. It is now 9 weeks old. It is not behaving like a cockerel or pullet. It has still a small comb and wattles. It has a lack of tail feathers but other than that it is almost fully feathered. Do you see a pullet or a cockerel???
These little guys are 7 weeks old today. Two straight buff orpingtons and two cross breed barred rock+BO.
I’m fairly certain I have one male and one female buff Orpington, but the barred rock mixes are still uncertain. The darker one is much larger then the rest and has a very developed comb...
Hi everyone! I’m a relatively new chicken dude who has had a terrible “rooster rate” (67%!) from a local farm store here in Sonoma County. As you guys know, roosters are tough to find homes for. Anyway, after a few weeks, we began to notice two of the three chicks we bought began exhibiting...
ok so i have 2 lavender orpingtons. they’re said to be 4 weeks old- they look a bit younger. im just curious if they’re old enough to guess their gender?
the lighter one on the left is yellow, and the darker one on the right is blue. blue is only a day or 2 younger than yellow, but is developing...
Hello all - this is my first post and probably one of many!
I bought 3 female cream Legbar chicks and one male clb chick and they've all turned out different to each other.
I've been in touch with the breeder and she's agreed that two of my hens are the wrong colouring (way too gold)but one...
Hello! These are my 8-9ish week silver laced Wyandotte’s, or that’s at least how long I’ve had them. They may be closer to 10-12 weeks though. They were supposed to all be pullets, but I know I have some cockerels; I just don’t know how many. Any help would be appreciated.
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...
9 weeks ago we got 12 day old heritage chicks in the hope to get at least 6 egg laying hens, and now I fear I have 10 roosters!!!!!
Breeds are Easter Egger, Wyandotte, Pekin, and Barnvelder
This blue andalusian Chicken was our free exotic mystery bird from the hatchery. We identified the breed but are confused on gender. I say pullet but others say cockerel when they see her/him. Chevy (his/her name) is 12 weeks old. I saw that this is a common thread of people wanting to know...
Hi all
Recently we got a couple of chicks from a hatching program run out of my son's kindergarten. We have had them for about 2 months now and they are starting to get a bit bigger. I was hoping for some advice on what breed and if they are hens or roos. The website from the organisation that...
hi everyone!
I am new to chickens and purchased
An assortment of chicks back in March at my local farm store. One of my babies is a gold sex link. She was always light from the start. She is now 9 weeks old and has her comb and wattle coming in and it’s pinkish, red. Someone saw her and said...
So most of the research I've done on sexing blue wheaten ameraucanas has said that if they have a lot of darker feathering that means they are a cockerel, as opposed to the pullets who are lighter and less flashy. I know its early at 3 weeks, but do I most likely have a little cockerel here...
I just recently bought a silkie pullet yesterday but I’m not sure if she really is a pullet or if it might be cockerel. I’m also wondering around what age she might be?
