Are these male streamers on our 13 week old silkie? They’re not really longer than the other feathers but I’m nervous 😬
I figured I could get ahead of the game and arrange a home for him before he crows bc my neighbors will NOT be pleased (plus we’re not allowed roosters where we live) if he...
I have 4 little cockerels, as pictured, that will be free! Dad is a pure bred Bielefelder and possible moms are Barred Rock, RIR, Sexlinks, and Easter Eggers. The dad is huge, very gentle with adults & children, and takes excellent care of the ladies. See attached photo of him.
I am located...
Trying to help a friend figure out the sex. Bird was bought as a straight run chick from a feed store. 12 week old Delaware. I’m leaning towards cockerel but that is still a small pink comb…
Hi everyone, we posted here about a month ago asking about sexes of our chickens that were labeled as production reds from TSC. They're about 1.5-2 months old now and would like your opinions again.
One is obviously a starlight green egger (below), which we believe is a pullet. Can anyone help...
I have a 5 week old lavender orphington premium pullet from hatchery. The chick ia feathering out nicely, but this comb is having me question the validity of the sexing. Unfortunately my other lavender chick died early, so I have no comparison. Is anyone familiar with this breed to give me some...
Hello! First time every raising chicks and I think i've lost the straight run lottery... How many roo's do I have? They are 4-5 weeks old currently. Thanks in advance! :)
They are mixes of the following breeds if it helps:
#1: Roo?
#2: Roo?
#3: Pullet?
#4: Pullet?
#5: Roo?
#6: Roo?
Hello! I have my suspicions about this chicken, currently called Annabelle- do you think this is a cockerel or a pullet? The breed is BBS Orpington and the age is about 11 weeks old. Thank you!!
I just wanted to start with a huge thank you to everyone for the wonderfully informative and welcoming responses to my first post! Thank you so much for the warm welcome! You have no idea how much I appreciate it! 🥰
I've got more chick that is tripping me up because "it" does have a comb but...
Good morning! I recently started my own little flock. I wish I had done better about which breeds I got but I only remember a few. It's always fun to think you'll remember something and then realize that you don't! At any rate I do know that I have two Rhode Island reds, two amerucanas, to cream...
I bought three pullets from a local--a classic Craigslist deal that listed them as pullet hens. The seller said they're two blue sapphire Plymouth rocks and one silver laced sussex. They're around 6 weeks old. When comparing them to photos online, I'm not so sure. What do y'all think? One of the...
My 2 Barred Rocks are about 8-10 weeks old and they look quite different. The first 4 pictures are Francis and the last 4 pictures are of Jet. I’m thinking Francis is a cockerel but the coloring is the same as Jet, so that’s really throwing me off. What do you think? Thank you!
Hello All,
I have some EEs in the brooder. 3 weeks old. This one has a different feather pattern than the other 2 girls. Could this pattern indicate a cockerel? The first pic is the one in question. The second is the pullet.Egger, Feather,
Hi. Does this look like a girl? Seems a bit larger than the others and sometimes I see the tail feathers pointing a bit downward…although my girls do that sometimes too. ‘She’ is about 7 weeks old now. Thank you!

Hi there! This was a sexed pullet from Meyer Hatchery, hatch date January 23, so about 10 weeks old. What do you think? Cockerel or pullet? (And I apologize, not amazing pictures I know.)
3 jerk cockerels- they’re actually great roosters, but hate me. They do a great job protecting their girls and finding tasty treats for them. I just have too many and am combining all my hens into 2 runs with only 2 roos.
Jethro is an Ayam Cemani- this is a rare fibromelanistic breed (the rarest...
Hello y’all!
About 3 days ago my cockerel was as his usual energetic self but it seems that something caused him to lose sense in his feet and wings. On day 1 he would have limp, on day 2 he would fall down several times, day 3 he couldn’t stand up or fly no matter how much he tried. This is a...
Hi - newbie to Barred Rocks.
I *THINK* I have two Barred Rocks (they came as a "rainbow pullets" variety from a local farm store - never again!)
I've looked at so many pics and read so many things about how to tell the difference in gender and I feel like mine have pullet feather...
