    Is it possible to tell the difference between male and female chicks?

    We recently got 8 new chicks from coastal, and I got one the same breed as my beloved chicken, who has sadly died from a dog attack. I got three of that breed, and I want to name one after my hen, but I can’t tell the difference yet, so is there any way to tell the gender when chicks haven’t...

    Barred Rock chicks- cockerel or pullets

    Hi hi. (Loooooong time lurker, like a decade) finally leaped into chicken keeping. These guys are probably a day shy of being a week old. I’ve been reading and watching examples of Barred rock ladies and gents. But I still can’t crack the “head spot, wing, leg” code on my own. I think Ive got...

    Help Sex My RIR

    I got 5 RIR’s and now they are about 3-4 weeks old now, and one started growing way faster than the others. His/her legs are noticeably thicker than the others. I was worried because his comb was pretty big at a young age and it looked like his waddle was coming in. He/ she could also be an...

    Is this a roo?

    We got some hens tonight at an auction. They were labeled as barnyard mix hens (and one rir). I just got them home in better light and I'm thinking maybe we got saddled with a rooster. We are residential backyarders so if it's a roo I'm going to have to rehome asap. If you have any insight on...

    Help! Is my muscovy a boy or girl? Almost a year old.

A little info on Venus: She was born in October 2016, she weighs 6.6lbs, she keeps mounting all of my ducks(except boys), I do not know...

    Is this lil' Langshan a pullet or cockerel?

    I've got a little flock of assorted 3 month-olds, and I've finally reached the point where I'm confident they're all pullets with the exception of this lovely Langshan. Here are a couple pics I snagged just today for someone with a more expert eye than mine to examine. Anyone have any ideas?

    Hen or Roo?

    Hi again! We are 99% sure she is a hen but her comb is HUGE!! Does that mean she's going to start crowing soon? Is she a late blooming rooster? (Only 4 months old!)

    What's the gender of this red legged partridge?

    My mom found this red legged partridge on the street but we can't tell what gender it is. It is very scared. We also don't know what to feed it and if it'll get along with our hen. Any information is helpful :-)

    Caribbean Chicken

    Hi BYC flock! Can you help me figure out the gender and breed? We rescued a day old chick in the Caribbean, and we're not sure what breed or gender she is. Gertrude (I keep using the pronoun "she" in hopes it's a hen) is now 11 weeks old, no signs of crowing, and the comb on top hasn't grown at...
