    Sexing 3-- Easter Egger, Splash Wyandotte, and Lavender Orpington

    Hiya! This year we got 5 chickens from our local hatchery, vent sexed as female. Of the first two, one ended up a roo 😅 Well, we have 3 more who are still too young to say definitively, but I'd love some opinions if you've got them! The first is 6 weeks old, an Easter Egger ("Cornfritter")...

    12 week old Light Brahma Hen or Roo?

    I grew up with chickens at my parent's house, but this is my first time owning them myself! We bought our Light Brahma chicks from Tractor Supply. They said they were pullets, but we're thinking Twinkie here might be a roo! Can anyone help us?

    Boy or girl??

    This sweet baby is just 2-3 weeks old. I know it’s impossible to tell for sure at this age, but if anyone has any ideas I’d love to hear! Such a sweet baby loves to cuddle! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a hen. However, there are a couple things that point to girl and a couple things that...

    Olive Egger - rooster or hen?

    I was certain this was a hen a few days ago. Now I’m not too sure. 10 week old Olive Egger.

    Black sex-links? Maybe? Pullets?

    I'm back with some pictures of two of my other chicks. The verdict on my barred chicks was 3 roos, 0 pullets 🤣😅 Background info: 4 week old barnyard mixes from RIR or Barred Rock roos and RIR, BO or Barred Rock hens (I also saw one or two white chickens with red comb there so maybe leghorn?)...

    Hen or Roo? 9 Week old Olive Eggers

    The rest of the gals I'm confident in, but these two are confounding me. My first batch I'm having to figure out! I'm worried that their feathers are starting to look so pointy around the neck? But they are my only two olives and they look so similar I can't tell if they are both roo's or if...

    any guesses on sex? silkie experts.

    Lavender Orpington: Did I get a cockerel?

    I got my Lavender Orpington chicks on Feb 28th from my local family feed store. They're supposed to be sexed and all hens but I'm wondering if this one is actually a cockerel? Between the attitude, with this one willing to post up* with the other 4 week old cockerels, the comb is much more...

    3 silkies, hen or roo

    Hello all, I ordered a batch of chicks back at the end of September last year. In that batch I ordered 3 cuckoo silkie hens that were gauranteed hens, or I'd get a refund. One of the chicks ended up being the wrong color and I was given a refund for it already. Since they're about the age...

    Minorca, 13 weeks... ALL the angles.

    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...

    Hen or Roo? Almost 16wks

    Hi all! Wanted to get your thoughts on this silkie. Almost 16wks old. I’m thinking rooster but I’m new to silkies and still unsure. Thanks!

    Hen or Roo, I’m confused

    My buff Orpington that I thought was hen started faintly crowing. All the babies are about 17 weeks old. Karen pictured is way bigger than the rest, comb and waddles are huge. I am new at this and I know sometimes the head hen will crow. Can any one help me please!

    Easter Egger Hen or Roo

    I know it's still a little early as my chickens are about 11.5 weeks old. However, out of 17 of my chickens, I believe one of my easter eggers to be a rooster because he/she is the only one of them with a three row comb. I can't figure out saddle feathers and he/she is still growing them. What...

    I’m not so sure about this chicken

    Hen or roo? Just wanted to know your opinion. The rest of this cuties hatch mates seem to be roosters defined red comb already very pointed saddle feathers. I’m thinking pullet but just wanted to be sure. Let me know your thoughts! Edit: She is 6-7 weeks. I hate to admit but I’ve...

    Polish Maran

    I was gifted this Polish maran mix. I'm not sure on age I would say born sometime in June. Curious if it's a pullet or cockerel?

    10 week old Barred Rock - male or female?

    Photos of “Wrinkle” today at 10ish weeks old, and at about 1 week old. Comb and wattle are very developed compared to the other pullets but this is the only Barred Rock I have so nothing to compare to!
