cockerel

10 weeks old. I'm thinking cockerel but I have another that has a bigger, redder comb. I know they can be tricky. Also I suck at photos. I blame the phone.

Icelandic cockerels from Greenfire Farm, coming up on 8 weeks old. Known as a breed for their great foraging, predator resistance, and high consumption of ticks. They also lay through the winter. When I move to the country, I will get 40 of these because of the ticks here in Missouri. The...

Brand new to this! Can anyone more experienced help me determine if these 4.5-week-old chicks are female or not? Unfortunately, I won't be able to keep Roosters where I live. Bonus if you could tell me what breed they are! :) As you can see, they had almost identical "chipmunk" patterns as...

Type: White Plymouth Rock 9 weeks old Hello! Need your help! I would love to know if this chicken is a pullet or cockerel. Please share how you can tell 😊 Thank you!

Hi all, Ever since my rooster Randy died 6 weeks ago the bullying in my flock (6 hens - 3 adults, 3 3-month olds) has been out of control. There are 2 main bullies but honestly they’ve all been bad to eachother except the smallest 2. I’ve done all kinds of arrangements - separating them...

I attained these Black Australorps on April 18th, 2024. They were a few days old. I've had/have this breed previously, but only hens. I've noticed some drastic changes in this new group, and am curious if I've got a few cockerels among the four pictured here. They developed combs and waddles...

4.5 weeks old. Very friendly, loves to be held.

I have an 11 week old Silver Laced Wyandotte Mix cockerel. His coloration is the classic white and black with the white being the most dominant coloration. He is the best behaved of the 4 roosters I am currently raising. He is selling for $7. PM for details.

Hello, I have a 12 week old Easter Egger Cockerel who I need to re-home due to Local Ordinance not allowing me to own a Rooster. He was going by Sarah when I believed him to be a hen but now he will need a new one. He is very timid but sweet. He doesn’t mind being handled and enjoys hopping...

I’m new to this breed and wonder if anyone has guesses about gender of these three. I feel like the combs would be larger at 10weeks old but the feathers are throwing me off.especially #1’s.

I hatched ebay eggs about 9-10 weeks ago. I recently sold most of them, I kept two. I believed both of these to be pullets. I was wrong. I have one of each. The one in question is the cockerel, though both are unknown breed mixes. The person I purchased the eggs from mentioned having Deathlayers...

Hi BYC family! I am looking to replace my rooster (my sweet Randy was lost to a raccoon about 2 weeks ago) I live in an area with HEAVY predator pressure - main offenders are owls, hawks, foxes, raccoons, and coyotes. Since Randy died, I’ve already had 3 hens get eaten by a Fox 😣 So I’m looking...

I have a New Hampshire Red style Rooster that's just coming up on a year old, I raised him from a chick, but he's tried a few times to flog my partner and recently he's started to try and flog me too, but his spurs aren't sharp thankfully as he's only a year old. Despite these negatives, I have...

I have four Barnyard Mix cockerels for sale. I am hoping to find new homes for these cockerels because I cannot keep any more roosters. The first cockerel is a Speckled Sussex hen/Buckeye rooster mix. The second and third are Black Copper Maran hen/Buckeye rooster mix. (The second rooster is...

Alright. I suspect I know the answer. And while I know this "suspected roo" is just attacking those not "in his flock", I'm not sure if he'll outgrow it. ?? We have 3 - 6week old boys, hatched ourselves(easter eggers. Blue Wheaten Ameraucana is sire from local breeder), and obviously they play...

Hey there! I have a 6 week old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chick. First time raising this breed. Does it look like a cockerel or pullet? It stands upright a lot and herds other chicks. Its neck feathers are still coming in. Any chance it could be a female?

Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old. First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

My marans purchased as straight run chicks are now 3 weeks old. Pullets or cockerels!? Chick 4 is my splash marans, chick 3 is my blue marans, and chick 2 is our other splash marans.

Hi! I have at least 4, possibly six young silkie cockerels to rehome. They’ve been hand raised and we spend a LOT of time holding them and cuddling with them. I really need to find them homes quickly, they’re starting to get very annoyed with each other! One of them has a curved beak, but he is...
