hen or roo

Hen or roo? 🫠🤔 Picked up around March 22. Sold as ~8 week old olive egger backcross to BCM pullet. Last two photos are from the first week, first several photos are today. The comb is much bigger and redder than the other two pullets I got at the same time, it’s been pretty friendly and...

Alright, this is "Sauron", and we are hoping she's a hen. I know it's too early too be definitively sexed, but my kids love her and if she ends up being a roo...well, I just want to set expectations now. Sauron is a smidge over 3 weeks old. We got her (and the other ladies) from a local shop...

Got two Delawares a few weeks ago, just curious if anyone has thoughts on this one’s gender. I don’t know exactly how old they are, I’m guessing they were about a week old when I brought them home which would put them around four weeks now. I only put pictures of one because the other won’t pose...

Got this chicken and was told it was a pullet, but now at 14-16 weeks or so it’s mounting one of my silkies all the time. It’s at the bottom of the pecking order so I don’t think it’s just a dominance thing. Looks like a golden laced Wyandotte to me but was told it’s an Easter egger. I just...

There are three cream legbars, the other two are half silkie, half legbar (broody mama was a silkie, figured she should get a few of her own babies too). One of the legbars is obviously a hen, no head spot and dark stripes. The other two (pictured) are questionable. Both have stripes down their...

I got this bird as an egg from a local lady, she says the dad was a Mystic Onyx (with a bright red comb??) and not sure about the mom but she has some black sex link hens. 4 month old now, crows every morning but is a gentle giant. I can’t keep it if it keeps crowing :( Hen or Roo???

Hey there! I got some new Splash Ameracauna chicks the other day and I'm having a hard time telling if they are male or female. They are approximately 4 weeks old. Their beaks and nostrils look abnormally large to me but maybe that's just the breed. What do you guys think? Chick 1 Chick 2

I’d love to know what you all think. This chicken isn’t acting differently than the others in our 6 chicken flock - like the others, she’s very mellow - but (s)he’s a lot larger than the others. We have two Ameraucanas but they’re dramatically different sizes (the other is much smaller). Also...

Hey! 🙂 Back with everyone’s fav game, hen or roo! Haha. I got these EE’s and a surprise EE/Silkie cross, they are 7-8 weeks. Thinking the silver EE is a roo, the one dark EE is a roo and the other dark EE is a hen. Not sure about the white silkie cross (Slim Shady is their name 🤣). Thanks in...

This one is about 6 weeks old. Buff Brahma Bantam. Any ideas on sex? I have one already that is for sure a pullet. This one just has a darker comb and wattles coming in. Thanks in advance :)

These two are stumping me. I've read conflicting sexing info regarding hackle feather shape, wattles and combs and I'm questioning if they are both roos because of this or just one of them or neither. One has rounder hackle feathers and a flat comb area with a wattle and they are very pink...

We were given a bunch of mixed breed chickens so we have no ideas on breed but we’re having a hard time sexing them so any help would be greatly appreciated! They’re around 3 months old

This is Thorin, the 18 week old EE. Thorin confuses me. S/he has never crowed or danced, but also is much more standoffish than his hatch mates that are hens... He is not colored like any of the other EEs i have either, hen or roo.... So.... Cockerel or pullet?

Attaching a pic at the end of my Ameraucana lavender hen, but the splash pretty sure turned out to be a roo. The pea comb is getting darker, and my kids found him mounting a hen today — 14 weeks old. That splash is a roo, huh 😞 I can’t have roosters where I live. Such a beautiful bird too! Am...

Hi! I purchased this chicken today as a hen. I’m not expert, and of course, I’m one that can’t have a Roo because I’m in the city limits. I was told she was a Porcelain Cochin Bantam around 5-5.5 months old. What do you guys think?

I’ve got two suspicious looking 15 week old birds here and I’d love to hear your thoughts. These birds were raised by a hen, I am not sure what breeds they are mixed with. I got them at 12 weeks and they are now nearly 16 weeks. There has been no fighting or crowing but they are both at the...

First 3 pictures are Chicken #1, last 3 pictures are chicken #2. They will be 12 weeks on Saturday. I picked them out SR, out of the 4 I picked out these two look and act a bit differently. The other two have much more obvious rounded tail feathers and a single comb. These two have 3 rows on...

I have 3 silkie chickens that are so different! First pic is Bluey, I’m 99% sure this is a hen. She has no comb, no streamers, and just seems like a hen. Picture #2 is Coconut. I’m 100% sure he is a Roo. HUGE comb and has streamers. And he has been crowing for maybe 3-4 weeks now. Super cute...

Howdy! First time chicken lady here, I’ve got a small flock of 5 that are 6 weeks old I believe. I know for sure one is a roo (not pictured) but I’m wondering about my other 4. I also need some breed help with numbers 1 & 4, number 1 is supposedly a Olive Egger and number 4 is supposed to be a...

You know the name of the game… hen or roo?! This is Karen, a supposed 8-10 week EE. “She” has me stumped!
