Can you help me work out if this is a pullet or roo? It’s 12 weeks old, has started getting slight red patches on the face, and loves to chest bump the other chickens.
I have 2 13 week old silkies that are making a scratchy sound...they have definitely been submissive to the bigger flock leaders, but I can't tell if they are boy or girls. Any thoughts!?
I have two silkies 13 weeks old have have begun making a scratching sound...I don't think it's a crow but am certainly unsure. Sexing them has been incredibly difficult! Any thoughts?
Hey everyone,
I have a 13 week old cochin frizzle and new hampshire red that continue to challenge each other...do I have 2 roos or could one of them be a pullet? One has distinct, metallic green tail feathers but I don't want to accept it is a cockerel...they are my favorite chicken! The...
Hi all!
I have 4 8 week old Silkies. This post contains 3 of them, as I was sick of getting covered in chick poo to get these photos, haha. The fourth has a single comb, perhaps is a Frizzle cross, so jury is still out on that one. What do you think of these 3 8-week-olds? Pullets or Cockerel...
Can you help me identify the gender and breed for some of these ducks please? I am mostly concerned about the gender of the big 4 ducks. I hope they are not all males or I would have to separate them from my mallard and blue Swedish.
Also if you can tell the gender of the black blue Swedish. I...
Hi there. Here is my now 8 week old Olive Egger mix. S/he is SO friendly. I used to think s/he was a boy, but then her/his comb stopped progressing ahead of the other chicks.
And now, her/his tail feathers look a bit pointy to me, and I’m not sure I can rule out that this chick is a boy. What...
Four week old silkie chick with a vaulted skull. What do you think it is? I know it may be extremely early but I know some experts may be able to tell gender at this young of an age.
This is Winter my White cochin. She was born August 10th and is 20 weeks old. I bought her from a online hatchery as a female, but of course she crowed. I sent the hatchery a picture and they said winter is a rooster, I may just be crazy, but I don't believe it. I do have a frizzle rooster, but...
I am new to silkies and having a hard time sexing them. I know a few for sure, but there are a couple I question. These are not show quality silkies, but just my loved pets to have as company on the farm. Any help and guesses are welcome :) I know they are hard to sex from pictures. Majority of...
What gender do you think my little Mocha is? 15 - 16 weeks old roughly. They’re a Silkie x unknown. Originally thought cockerel due to behaviour but in the last two weeks I’ve been thinking pullet but I’m not well versed in sexing chickens. My white leghorn cockerel and pullet were easy!
Here's my ameraucana girl Beatrice. She and her buff orpington friend Bonnie are almost 3 months old now and I'm wondering if Beatrice is a pullet or a roo. What do you guys think?
Hi,
I have a Plymouth rock chicken. I thinks he’s a rooster but he’s not crowing like the others and he’s much calmer and is never involved in any of the pecking. I know some hens of this breed have combs and wattles so I’m unsure.
What do you think?
