    Are these geese actually female?

    I’m just an anxious, first-time goose mama trying to quell her fears 😅 According to Metzer Farms, these two are both female. They were ordered as female, labeled as female, and banded as female, but I’m starting to get worried sick that one (or both..) are ganders. It’s still quite early...

    Is this a Roo? 6 week old Mosaic mix

    This chick is a mixture of an EE and Mosaic. Due to the comb and wattle size I always assumed it was female, but look at it's pointy tail feathers! That means it's gotta be a male right? Note, it's a Fibromelanistic breed so redness of the comb and face is not a factor i can rely on.

    Light Brahma drama

    I need some help sexing this chicken. We’ve named her? Mulan-Prianka (since it’s a Chinese-Indian bird). “She” is 18 weeks, almost 19 weeks, old and a bit grumpy with other chickens. Our black copper maran rooster of the same age is subjected to Mulan-Pria’s grumpy outbursts of feather picking...

    Silkie gender?

    Hello!! I've posted this before when my silkie was about six weeks, but it's been a few more weeks now and I'm wondering if anyone can identify it's gender. It's about 11-12 weeks, so I'm not sure if I should wait longer? I'm still feeling rooster, but I'm no expert, so I would appreciate...

    🙋‍♀️ 💥 Need help with 11 week old gender identification

    We purchased these lovely “pullets” on 3/24/22 from TSC. Two were listed as Easter Egger pullets and one was listed as lavender wyandotte pullet. Only one has began to crow (wonder if you can guess which one). This one also picks on our 3 week old chicks we have as well. Do I have two...

    Gender by wing method

    Looking for second opinions because there wings are a little scraggly, but I think they are both hens. They are about 4-6 days old.

    African goose and Chinese goose gender HELP

    So we initially adopted 2 pairs of gosling from the store. Sadly one was taken by an eagle, so we adopted another pair by right (the store owners weren’t exactly professional breeders so i assume the workers dont really know how to differentiate the genders). Now we assumed there was either 2...

    Need help identifying the gender of my silkies

    First off, I 'm new to chicken owning. I live in a suburban neighborhood and got silkies as I heard they were smaller and quieter than other chickens (not to mention super cute!). They are 5 months old this week and I was hoping I'd be able to tell their gender by now. But I still have no...

    Do I have 2 Roosters!? 12 week old Wyandotte & Orpington

    Hello, I am new to backyard chicken farming. We purchased 7 “female” newborn chicks in April (born 4/1/20). They are now about 3 months/12 weeks old, all different breeds. We received an “extra” Wyandotte that is I believe is a rooster. Another one that I purchased, a black Orpington, is also...

    Speckled Sussex Gender Identification (13 weeks ½ old)

    It's my first time with the Speckled Sussex breed. I had another SS chick the same age as this one whose traits definitely marked him as a male at six weeks old, so I gave that one away quickly, but this chicken pictured below keeps confusing me. At first glance, the curved tail feathers say...

    Please help indentify gender

    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...

    Another Easter Egger, Roo or Hen?

    This Easter Egger has the tiniest Muffs. It’s been a treat to watch this one grow more confident and into one of my best foragers! I just hope is a hen so I can keep her. It’s a blue grey with mainly gold neck pictures make it look reddish but that’s more golden in the sun.

    3 SLW 8 Weeks Old- Gender Help!

    Hello! I got 4 chicks this year and I believe 3 of them all the SLW are cockerels. They are all 8 weeks old. Our GLW I am pretty sure is a pullet. I have a hard time believing I would be lucky enough to get 3 roos out of 4 chicks I picked up. Would love to hear some thoughts! Thanks!

    Is my black hen actually a rooster?

    I adopted these two "gals" and was assured they were hens. The black one has gotten quite loud and I don't think I've once seen her in the nesting boxes. We have had "her" for about 6 months. Does anyone think she's a rooster? We are not allowed to keep roosters due to noise. Our houses are very...

    Is this a hen or rooster?

    The body says hen but the comb & wattle say rooster. What do you think?

    One Cockerel or two?

    I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...
