Hey y’all, I’m new to chickening, this is my first season with chicks and I keep getting the feeling that this 7 week old Starlight Green Egger might not be the girl I thought she was. I had a Black Australorp that was showing strong signs of rooster at 4 weeks and of course turned out to be a...
I currently have five, 11-week old chickens outside in a coop. 2/5 of these chickens are confirmed cockerels and will be culled next week.
I’m concerned that out of the remaining 3 chickens, two more are cockerels 🥲. The breed is just developing slower.
Obviously, our one pullet shouldn’t be...

It is with sadness that we need to rehome our beloved Light Brahma, Link (formerly Lily). He was in the sexed pullet bin, but it's looking like this is a cockerel! He's an absolutely beautiful bird, and so far has been very friendly and a good companion...
Hi
I have 4 chickens and a cockerel .
3 of the hens are 3 years old and the cockerel and the other hen are 2 years old .
The 2 younger ones are from the same clutch and have lived together , houses at night separately from the older chickens .
The female hen is a bantam and has always been at...
Hello all!
I have a sweet 10 wk old Easter Egger Cockerel named Kuro. He's already a good leader looking out for the pullets I've got, and I think he's pretty to boot. I'd keep him but I can't have a rooster in the city so he's got to go. If I can't rehome him before he starts crowing he's...
Hello all!
I have lost the chicken lottery and gotten one cockerel in with my pullets. I'm in town so I can't have a rooster. If anyone in the bay area wants a cockerel or knows someone who will take him please let me know. I can drive him to wherever he needs to go if necessary.
His name is...
Hi everyone!
I was recently given two males which appear to be young. I don’t have any information on them. They seem to be friendly so far and will let you hold them if caught. I’m keeping them separated from my hens for now. The gray one just started crowing since I’ve had him.
I’m curious...
i’ve got two blue english orp chicks in my brooder. we hatched most of our own eggs this year but picked these up at the farm store along with some leghorns.. i think we’re approaching 3-4 wks so a bit early BUT these two look so different that i’m just sure the darker chick is a cockerel.. much...
Here is a four week old lavender Cochin. The tail feathers aren’t coming in like other chicks. The comb is larger in comparison. The legs seems to be thicker. This chick tends to square up to other chicks more so than anyone else. Do I have a cockerel on my hands or is there still a possibility...
I’m suspecting two of my supposed pullets could be roosters. Could anyone help me?! They are almost eight weeks old. Blue jersey giant and buff Orpington
This is my first time raising a cockerel with my egg hens because one of the lavender orpingtons turned out to be a cockerel. They are all five weeks old and from what I can tell, he is the only cockerel.
He is honestly starting to be a jerk? He's chasing quite a few of the girls around, but...
Mostly black feathering with brown stripes in the wing and neck, gray legs (no feathers and four toes), pink-ish skin around the eyes and fluffer head!
West Central Indiana
25 week old Buff Brahma, heritage breed. Local breeder hatching eggs hatched Aug 1, 2024.
Raised under hens.
Needs a new coop or stew
(I do not have anything to process nor do I know how yet!) I have posted on FB with no bites! He's a pretty and big boy! Feet are dirty...
Hi all,
Thought I’d make a wee post to show off the cockerel I picked up recently - I’m sure he’s a bit of a mutt but I know he’s a bantam of some sort (he’s much smaller than all the hens). I was thinking he could be part silkie because of his feather texture but then again he doesn’t have the...
Got this baby today, was told she’s a pullet and just want everyone’s opinion, I’ve never had this breed before, although I have had Cemanis they are different.
What do you think about this one; male or female Blue Laced Red Wyandotte? The colors vary and the rose comb is hard to tell, so I’m not sure.
Hatched Dec 16th at Meyers. The order was supposed to be all female but found two boys so far.
Howdee from snow covered Vermont. Got 70 female chicks from Meyers Hatched Dec 16. A few roos snuck through. Definitely one golden cuckoo Maran and one blue laced red wyandotte are male. What do you think about this one?
Hi there. Could anyone tell me which cockerel exhibits more show quality? Al be it they are at different ages. The two at the top are brothers and the other one is my personal which I’m thinking of getting rid of for one of the brothers. TIA.
I have 2 very handsome chamois Spitzhauben cockerels I need to rehome near Des Moines, Iowa. I got 4 chicks and 3 turned out to be male, plus I already have an older roo and not nearly enough ladies to go around! They are 6 months old today and other than jockeying for position, they’ve been...
