So I was 100% sure that from our 6 egg hatch we had 3 pullets and 3 cockrels however as they get bigger I'm no longer 100% sure about 1.
This 'fella' has a much smaller comb and wattles plus 'his' tail feathers are WAY different to the definite roos but their bodies are all the same size. The...
Hi all,
I have 6 purebred Wyandotte, we’re trying to figure out which are Pullets and which are Cockerels.
The going theory is photos 1,2,4 are Cockerals and the Other 3 are Pullets
Thanks everyone
16 weeks old. Was sold as straight run. I see no comb development yet and have heard no crowing but I suspect cockerel. I currently have too many cockerels and we are working to pare them down quickly.
Photos include the blue Prairie Bluebell Egger from TSC and same age Starlight Green Egger...
The chicken I know as Kitty Foreman looks more and more like Red Foreman to me, but what do I know?
Red feathers are everywhere, including several tail feathers, so I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next unfurling! What do you think? Kitty or Red?
Per the pinned thread, I have...
Meet Pincess Peach (white and brown) and Princess Daisy. We bought these lovely ducks from tractor supply from a straight run bin. So the genders were a mystery as well as breed. Though due to the feather curling up on Princess Peach I think we may have a Prince Peach and a Princess Daisy.
What...

Hi! We have five 8-week old chickens with an Easter Egger rooster and either an olive egger, cream legbar, silkie, or buff orpington hen. First time chicken mom and unsure how to sex them. I have my guesses but thought I’d ask for some help. Thank you!

I have 3 silkies that are 8 months and it's my first time owning them. I have 2 that I were told are bearded silkies and one top knot silkie. I can tell that one for sure is male as he will Crow, make sounds for food and has tried to mate the top knot hen.
The one I'm confused about is the...
Hi everyone. I have 2 wynadottes that are roughly 14 weeks old. I’m just trying to sex them and am new to this so thought I would get some other opinions. Any help would be appreciated. I think they may be crossbred aswell. Thank you.
I have a bunch of Chickens that are a mystery mixed breed. Some cross between Barred Rock and something else.
Five Different Chickens. I think most of hens, however, a few are attempting to fight my dominate Rooster and I've never seen hens do that.
None of the 21 week old ones are laying yet...

Hi everyone!!
I have four adorable silkies. One is confirmed a hen and two are confirmed roosters (crowing already). They’re all exactly 16 weeks. This is the last one that I can’t figure out. If I can get any help id super appreciate it so I can figure out if I need to rehome the hen or two of...
I bought 5 muscovies a few months ago and I believed I had 4 females and 1 male. 1 duck has a lot more red in his face, has larger feet, and does not trill so I assumed he was a male. They are all around 6 months old but today I found a soft/rubbery egg. I checked the camera expecting one of the...
These are my two 8-9 week old chicks that I’m starting to worry about. One of them (at least) is crowing in the mornings. Can you tell which is a cockerel? The tan chick is a Buff Orpington. Not sure about the black one.
Please help me out! Please tell me I didn’t buy 3 roosters 😬😬😬
Important notes….
- approximately 8 weeks old
- purchased from Tractor Supply on July 6th (2024)
- less than a week old (approx 3 days old) when purchased
- one chick, Chilly, broke her leg a week after we got her, so maybe healing...
Hi all, thanks for taking the time to help!
I bought these 3 chicken as pullets but am starting to get worried I received roos. I think I'm hearing the start of crowing, but it's not consistent and I've heard that females will crow too. Any thoughts based on these pictures?
