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...
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...
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...
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?
I return with my 3rd post of these 3 chickens, who are now almost 4 months old (3 months 3 weeks). Hopefully they will finally be old enough to definitively sex! I've been confident for a while that I have 1 pullet (n.o 1), and 1 rooster (n.o 3), but n.o 2 is throwing me off. Has a smaller comb...
Hello. I’m trying to figure out if our 7 week old Easter egger is a rooster? I know it’s early, but have heard “her” making a sound almost like a rooster crow. Thanks for any help.
I have a 4 week old Serama that I am wondering if anyone can tell if it’s a roo or hen, the breeder mentioned all her breeding hens have very large red combs for the breed too to make it even more difficult 😉
Hi, I have 2 21 week old chickens that I’m not sure if they are hens or roosters. The light brown one I think is a hen. she’s been sitting in a nesting box a lot latelyThe dark brown I’m wondering if it is a slow growing rooster. It has some hackle feathers on its neck, in the last week or two...
Our Mystic Onyx, Gracie, has been exhibiting some dominating behaviors (chest bumping and flailing out her head and neck feathers), at another hen. From her feather coloration, I’m suspecting she may be a cockerel. Any ideas if she’s actually a Cash or Elvis? She was the most curious chick from...
Hi! This is my first time owing chickens I got them sexed from the fantastic and amazing Long Island Poultry Farm. I estimate 14 weeks old maybe? “She” is an Olive Egger. I noticed her behavior is more “up right” frequently ruffling neck feathers and jumping face on at other chicks, chasing the...
This is Zee. I'm thinking Zee is a cockrell, but I really don't know. She/He is differnt looking in feathering then my other two and they have the rose combs and this one does not. The tail feathers are higher. So I would like you other chicken lovers out there to give me your opinions. Thank...
Hi everyone! I have two 7 week old Blue Isbars. I'm hoping someone will be able to tell if they are pullets or cockerels. Their hatch date was 4/21. Their names are on each photo. Let me know what you think. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️ ☺️
Hi everyone, I just joined and from reading other threads, I think I know the answer but I want to be sure.
So I've raised Henrietta since a chick and we always though she was a hen. We have recently introduced new mature hens and now she is mounting them, chasing them and making this gawd...
Hi chicken friends. I have 4 chicks total- 2 EEs and 2 Isa Browns. I’m unsure of the sex of the ees. I basically adopted them from someone who did not know how to raise chicks. Those combs are making me nervous. Any input would be appreciated greatly!
The last photo, the EE is in the back.
Experts, what do you think? Hen or roo? I have some other roo ee's who have pronounced hackle and saddle feathers than Parsnip here, but Parsnip is larger than the hens.
Thanks in advance,
Allyson
I have two Rhode Island reds that are both turning 7 weeks tommrow and I think one of them may be a Cockrell but I’m not sure as this is my first time raising chicks. Pics 1-2 is the one I think has a slight chance. I have 5 others the same age and that one just acts different and is sounding...
