    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...

    Hen or roo

    Debating getting this Ermine Ameraucana. Hen or roo? I don't want to shell out almost 100$ on a bird that ends up being a roo that I can't keep where I live .

    Hens or Roos? Breeds?

    Hi All, Looking to find out if these two are hens or Roos. They are about 10 weeks old now and have only just started to get some red on their faces and wattles. Combs have not turned red yet. Kids have named the grey one Smokey, and the white/orange one Sunshine. Hoping they are girls so we...

    7 Week Old Silkies. Best guesses on sex?

    Hi all! I know it’s super early for silkies, but I wanted to get y’all’s opinions on whether I’ve got hens, Roos, or a mix. These two babies are about 7 weeks old now. Hoping for hens because I can’t keep roosters where I live. My neighbours have already expressed they don’t want roosters...

    Light Brahma hen or roo?

    I have a light Brahma about 5/6 weeks old who came from a female bin at Runnings. I'm becoming suspicious she is actually a he though because she's got bright red wattles coming in already, and she's turning into a bit of a jerk. She's also surpassed my oldest chick(at least a week older) in...

    the hen or roo game for 3 chicks! Any help is appreciated.

    these 3 chicks are approximately 2 months old. The white ones had some of their tail feathers shredded by the chicks they were kept with before I got them. Any help in identifying their gender will be much appreciated!

    Pullet or Cockerel?

    So... for the second year in a row I picked up Aquila chicks (they are fantastic layers and so friendly!!). And for the second year in a row, they have me questioning whether I got hens or roosters. Last year, they both turned out to be hens. This year I am not so sure. Please meet Benedict...

    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...

    Hen or Roo Black Copper Marans Edition 😁

    Hey guys, I have three Black Copper Marans and one BCM/RIR cross that are about 3 weeks old and I want to know your thoughts on what I have. 🧐 I’ve read that BCM are pretty early showers of gender and I’m wondering if I have three boys…🤨 Number 2 definitely looks like a cockerel to me but the...

    hen or rooster?

    Hi, I have a (roughly) 6/7-week-old mixed-breed chick and I’m pretty sure she’s a hen but I just wanted to check. She’s around the same size as all my other female chicks and her comb is practically non-existent although I’m not sure if that’s just because she was picked on during her first...

    Golden Laced Polish, hen or roo?

    Golden laced Polish from feed store, labeled as pullets. 6 weeks old. Is Cheeto a girl or boy? Hair might say boy. Comb and waddle both have a scratch on them, but what do we think besides the scratches? The air is very dry here, which may be contributing to scratches and retained sheathes...

    CCL Roo or something else?

    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...

    Speckled Sussex - hen or roo

    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...

    Playing hen or roo with Delawares

    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...

    Hen or roo?

    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...

    Cream Legbar Hen or Roos - Day Old

    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...

    4 month old Mystic Onyx mix, Hen or Roo???

    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???

    Help! Big nosed Ameracauna chicks. Hen or rooster?

    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

    Almost 13 week old Ameraucana- hen or roo?

    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...

    Hen or Roo Guesses? 😅

    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...
