gender help

Need help with this chicks age and gender. Any guesses write them below !

So, this baby was hatched on March 25th from a barnyard mix but given the feathered legs, I'm pretty sure they're a cochin mix of some kind. Could be wrong though! I was wondering, though, based on tail shape and the feathers on the shoulders, would you say this is a cockerel? They don't have...

Hi everyone! I’m new to BYC and to chickens. In May I got 6 Rhode Island reds, and I’m wondering if these two are hens or roosters? They are both 16 weeks old The first three are one chicken and the last two are another. I’m open to any suggestions because I’m not really sure. Thanks for helping!

Ordered all of them as presexed female one day old chicks. Have a feeling there’s a few roosters in the mix but they’ve got me stumped. Maybe a trained eye can help. My EE’s and faverolles were a breeze to sex; these two breeds, not so much. The gold laced Wyandottes are 11 weeks today and came...

I have two ducks both about 7-8 weeks old, I was told one is a crested black Swedish and the other is a blue Swedish/Rouen mix. They are both so quiet, one still makes a peeping noise rather than a quack and the other has a raspier sound which we assume is male but they both have a very slight...

5/6 week old - Opinions?!

Hi everyone, It is my first time raising chickens and I bought 2 Ameraucanas and one Partridge Rock. They are a little under two and a half months old now. As my partridge grows, I am noticing different looking tail feathers and rapid growth of waddles and comb. The comb started coming in a few...

Hello! So I’ve raised this one for about 24 weeks so about more than 5ish months. I sent pics early on asking if they were Roos or hens and the feedback I got said hens. Well her crop is a bit large? I’m not familiar with this breed but from the pics it seems a bit bigger. I know not all...

Hi everyone - long time chicken keeper, first time chick mama! Wondering if anyone can take a guess at the gender of these three chicks. Up until a few days ago I was convinced the black pekin was a pullet and the white pekin was a roo - black pekin was by far the most timid and had a more...

Hi! I'm new on Back Yard Chickens. I love this website, and I come here whenever I have a question (which is what I'm doing now)!!! I recently got 3 new chickens, two of which are Salmon Favorelles, Miss Blackbeard and Suzy Lou. Suzy has no beard, and her face doesn't have many feathers on it...

hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...

This little one is about 4 months old. Not crowing. Pretty round crest. Narrow comb, but fairly large waddles. Also, is it normal for Silkie wing feathers to be picked and ragged like this? We have 2 silkies. Both around the same age. Both have ragged wing feathers.

I’m betting that it’s the little one, just Becuase she turned five weeks and has a red comb already and just somehow looks like a boy to me. My question is what do you guys think? We have three chickens. Two are pullets I believe. We have one buff Orpington 7 weeks old, one barred rock (or...

I have two sultan chicks at about 8 weeks old. I got them from Meyer and ordered for only female chicks. I have polish hens and have already gone through the growing up of them as chicks, but sultans are a little bit different and harder for me to tell the sex. I’ve never actually raised them to...

We're fairly certain that we've got a handsome RR roo on our hands but we're fairly inexperienced and wanted some confirmation. (He's about 10weeks old) Also this is my 8.5 week old EE and I really find it impossible to tell. So far almost no comb just a few tiny nubs

Hey all, At the end of March, I got four black australorp babies. One of them has a more defined wattle than the others, and its feathers look more "pointed." I read on the forum that pointy saddle feathers could likely mean the bird is a rooster. The other three have rounded feathers, and less...

Hi all, can I get a quick gender check on this bird? She sure looks like a hen to me, but likes to get in the typical rooster fighting stance and boss the other hens around. The comb looks good to me but this is my first Ameraucana so i dont have a frame of reference and they seem quite...

I have 5 that I'd like to know their genders. 2 older around a week or two and 3 others are around a week or younger. Mother is a RIR/Leghorn mix and father is a BR/Plymouth rock mix.

Hi All, This week, we were out to get new additions to my bantam flock, and the plan was to get a pekin bantam pullet and a roo, as I hadn't had one in my flock and I wanted to have a roo, so that in case one of my hen goes broody again, I don't have to travel far to buy fertile eggs. I choose...

I’m on the fence about these two, Cookies & Cream. I think they are hens but I thought I’d see what everyone thought about them :) p.s. Cream has the most white
