    Is this a cockerel?!

    So I got some GLD’s from tsc and they’re about 7-8 weeks old. Suppose to be pullets but this one’s comb and waddle look very red compared to her other 2 sisters. Like RED. I attatched some pics but I don’t think the pics do it any justice at how red it really is! The other 2 combs and waddles...

    Are these cockrels?

    I bought some pullets offline and these Welsummers are a little over 2 weeks old. These 2 are much larger than the other Welsummer chick that I got in my shipment and noticed a comb already so just wanted confirmation I was sent pullets instead of cockrels?

    Young roosters raping hens :(

    My big australorp roo Pecker is a gentleman but his two sons are not. I’m thinking of making one Chris-Chan because he is… “enamored” with his mother and she isn’t reciprocating those feelings. The other has targeted one of my RIR hens and refuses to even flirt with other hens and mates her...

    My "girls" are worrying me - Balvaders & Rhode Island Red

    So confused as to whether these "girls" really are girls . Balvaders are 12wks - the smaller one has flashes of green in their neck but the other one is huge with tree trunk legs. The Rhode island red is 10wks and has some beautiful green feathers under the brown 😞 We've had chickens before...

    My Easter egger and black copper Maran looks like they might be male?

    Out of the 6 chicks I received, now they are 7 weeks old and I’m starting to doubt if they are all pullets. Daphne my EE And copper is my black copper Maran. Daphne is larger and when she screams out her voice is different from the others. She’s always been the biggest chick but the most timid...

    Will my pullet mourn?

    Hey y’all, I have 1-2 Pullets that our main cockrel always courts around the yard, dances for and happily mates with them with their approval. They even roost together at night. Unfortunately this cockrel has become over confident in his roll and decided to attempt to flog my daughter twice...

    18 weeks trying to mate 10 week old

    I’m sure this has been discussed before but for some reason I have a really hard time using the search engine on BYC. Nothing ever comes up of relevance to what I’m trying to search. I usually wind up googling what I’m looking for then actually getting close to an article on BYC that I need...

    Polish Cockrel feeling his cheerios

    I have 3 silkies and 1 polish that is a crowing his head off the past 2 weeks. Today when I let them out to roam, he is literally chasing the silkies around like a mad man. He chased Vanilli right into the run, all through the run and back out again. Then he came over to Mango and tried to...

    First Crow

    Okay Yall I have never heard a rooster crow. Like ever. I’ve never been around chickens much but yesterday started the first crow from one of our 11 week old cockerels. I’m dying laughing. I was working on the new coop screening it in when I first heard it. My husband and I thought a chicken was...

    Did I buy roosters?

    When I bought my 4 chickens they were labelled as pullets, but I'm having my doubts about that. The two brownish ones (Blue & Echo) are Golden Comets, and the two black and white ones (Delta & Charlie) are Easter Eggers. They're all right around 2 months old, but any thoughts on if they're hens...

    Hi all :) First timer here. I’m picked up 4 chicks from our local feed store and they are all supposed to be females. I picked them up on 3/21 so I’d guess they are about 4 weeks old. Would anyone mind confirming they are indeed pullets? :) I have 2 Easter eggers, 1 silver laced Wyandotte and...

    Safe Alternative to Dangerous Surgical Neutering of Roosters

    We got 4 “female” chicks from TC, one turned out to be rooster. He is 5 1/2 mos old now and we cannot have a rooster where we live. We have forever homes for all our pets, so we looked into getting “Roo” neutered. We talked to an avian Vet. She told us they no longer recommend or perform this...
