cockerel or pullet

I am ner here, and i am also new to taising chickens. I rescued a chick the other day that was wandering all alone in a construction zone where my husband works. I have always wanted chickens, but what better way to start than to happen upon one who was obviosly lost or abandoned. My question...

Hi everyone... I am new here, so I hope I am doing this right... I got 4 baby chicks 2.5 weeks ago. They are now 3 weeks and 3 days old. Two I have narrowed down to being Speckled Sussex but the other two, I am not sure what they are. I am thinking Welsummer or Brown Leghorn. I got them from a...

Hey friends, We have two Black Jersey Giants pullets from our local feed store. They are 6 weeks old. One has tail feathers like all of the rest of the hens and the other has pointy tail feathers. I don’t see much difference in the combs but am a total newbie and could be over thinking. I know...

I got 4 polish chicks and have preparing for them for months. I’ve reasearced and asked questions since I know they are slightly different than other breeds to take care of. I have 6 other 8 month old pullets, so I’m not very new to chickens. I just like to prepare and think ahead. Well the feed...

Hello all! This is our first year raising chickens. We were born and raised in the city and recently moved our family to an acreage a few hours from the rest of our family so we are BRAND new to this and loving it! Wondering if anyone can give some insight. Our kiddos are wanting to get to...

I know this is a long shot as she’s only 3 weeks old, but this one particular chick is developing far more quickly than her sisters (also OE’s). They are all from Cackle Hatchery, and one of their crosses is a cream legbar rooster over a welsummer hen. Do you think this is a little cockerel...

Hi everyone, Pictured below is the very outgoing, curious, friendly, brave little 7-week-old chicken that we named Rooster ("Roo") for short. I know, not the most creative name. We hope she'll be one of the many pullets named Roo. I started to have my doubts about her gender early on, because...

I have three 9 week olds. Are these cockerels or pullets? 1) I think this is a cockerel. He was only one born with a long skinny comb since and is slow to feather. 2) I think this one is a pullet but acts very aggressive pecking me and the others. Already fully feathered but a very thick...

Okay, so the week after Thanksgiving, I went out with my parents and bought six new chicks from Rural King, three Brahma and three Speckled Sussex. I'm worried because one of the Sussex looks like it might be a cockerel. They chicks are roughly 7 and a half weeks old. I'm worried and concerned...

We've had this little Easter Egger for 3 weeks and we were told it was a pullet but I've had my suspicions since we brought it home. It's now 3 months (13 weeks) old. Is it too early to say for sure or should I wait longer to find out? I can't have a rooster...

Hello everyone, I'm new to raising chicks, I got these Polish chicks as a gift from my friend, could you take a guess as to weather they're pullets or cockerels? Thank you!

This rather pretty bird was left on my lawn a few days ago. With a lot of patience I managed to catch it tonight. Don't think its more than a few months old, but I don't own any Silkies and I have no idea if its a hen or rooster. Thanks in advance.

As suggested, here are better pics, and a few days older which have brought some changes. Hi - Any feedback to help sex these guys/gals is appreciated. I'm a first timer, and I have 9 birds I got from a breeder. 3 Ameraucana (1 blue) (2 black)-5 wks 3 Black Copper Maran- 6 wks old 3 Olive...

Hello there! I was gifted a chicken from a friend that is a Red Wyandotte Splash Hen bred with a Black Ameracauna roo. I'm curious if the is a pullet or cockerel. Was told currently around 18-21 weeks of age.

Normally I'm reallt good at figuring out if my Ameracauna's are pullets or cockerels. This beautiful little Lavendar has me completely stumped though! I want this one to be a hem since we live in the city at this time but sometime after the 1st of the new year, we'll be buying our farm. I would...

I had actually gotten an answer for this same young chicken from another forum post (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/dont-know-what-breed-or-gender-you-have-click-here.1170156/), but the only person who responded was the one who started the forum post. While I completely trust and even...
