    Updated Photos (Again!): Hens or Roosters?

    We are back from our honeymoon and it looks like our birds have already grown so much in just a few days! Also, we added a few new friends to the flock! We're feeling like Cotton might be a rooster (so hard at a young age, especially for silkies as we're learning) but there appears to be a V...

    More mystery birds - 9 weeks

    Back again with more birds from our Murray McMurray hatchery assortments! I've numbered the photos, and will be listing my guesses or questions for each one. 1) White (?) cochin - leaning towards pullet 2) Dark Brahma? Thought initially roo since I assumed it came in the All Heavy mix, but...

    Hen or Roo?

    Hello, first time chicken owner here! I've tried my very best to sex this chick but I just am not familiar enough with sickle and saddle feathers to see the difference. What do the experts think? Hen or Roo? 3 months old, comb and waddles are bright red and significantly larger than the rest of...

    Hen or roo?

    We were told these were all hens but I don’t know - this one is looking like a rooster to me. Thoughts? 18 weeks old.

    The age old question

    Is this a cockerel or pullet? I was told by someone it’s a hen, but it did attack me, and that behavior made me suspicious. I got this one march 4th… In the saddle and neck area I see some curve and some point. I’m just very back and forth some indicators of hen and some of roo. I’m...

    Hen or Roo?

    Hello! First time owner. I got 4 "Ameraucana" from my local Tractor Supply. They are now outside, and I am completely unsure of gender as of now. 3 of the 4 have a smaller, pinker comb. I am hoping they are all hens, as the city doesnt want roos and i would imagine my neighbors dont either! So...

    Silkie with single comb!! Roo or pullet?

    I have a month or so old silkie chick with a single comb and I’m slightly worried she’s a roo because it looks like some wattles are coming in too. Any suggestions? This is my first time having a silkie!

    Hen or Roo? Oh and HI!!!

    Hi. We recently were blessed with 2 buff orpington chicks. We have a few other chicks and 2 laying hens already. These particular buffs have me wondering are they hen or rooster? They are around 4 to 5 weeks old from what we were told. I know you all see this exact post so many times...

    Hens or roosters

    I have 5 Rhode Island reds of 12 weeks old. I am not a chicken expert but i would like to know if I can see gender differences yet. They do not have combs or wattles yet. They all seem the same to me and don’t act very dominant or different from each other. I would appreciate if someone could...

    Unsexed Silver laced barnevelders roughly 1 month

    I have 4 silver barnevelders I don’t know if they are male or female. Two have more solid black feathers and two have more of the black and white female like feather patterns but one of them has more roo like appearance? They all have different sized tails, waddles, and combs.

    Hen or Roo?

    Hi everyone! Trying to figure out if this is a cockerel they should be around 8/9 weeks. I am thinking the first one in the front will be, also wondering about the one in the back thinking pullet on that one. They are supposed to be ameraucanas. Thank you for the help!:)

    Any rough idea of gender?

    11 weeks old, pretty sure I have three females and one male but I'm worried about these tail feathers starting to arch! Please give me good news!

    Breed and gender?

    I am new to owning chickens and need help identifying this one! 😅 I bought what was supposed to be Starlight Green Egger pullets from TS, and this one they gave me is definitely not that (at least doesn’t look anything like the others)! Wondering what breed it may be and if it’s looking like hen...

    Is this 14 week old Americauna a Hen or a Cockrel?

    I have 2 Americauna chickens, one I believe is a rooster for sure because he’s been crowing for a while and just has the overall look of a rooster in my opinion. The other one is much smaller so I always thought she was a hen but lately she also started crowing with him and tends to spar with...

    Hen or Roo?

    This is my first year with backyard chickens and I purchased what was advertised as Pullets from my local Rural King. I got 3 Brahma, one buff and 2 white, and 1 New Hampshire. If I’m guessing they’re probably 5-7 weeks old and growing like weeds. Just wondering if my Buff Brahma may actually be...

    14 week Easter egger - hen or roo?

    Help! This is only my second round of chicks, and my first round of Easter eggers. I bought 3 chicks from the local feed store. Sold as Easter egger pullets. But I think one (currently named Miss Cleo) might actually be a mister? Baby photo for reference and then group photos to see development...

    Head shape related to sexing?

    one of my chicks that i’ve suspected of being a rooster has a different head shape than the others (front) the forehead is bigger? can this be an indicator for sexing or are they just a little unique?
