    Barred rock roo’s ?

    These two are only about five weeks old but the comb and wattles are both pretty prominent already. One seems to have their tail feathers coming in like my two buff Orpington pullets. Anyone else want to take a look and give their opinion. One rooster we can manage but two I worry we will run...

    4 month old GLW, male or female?

    Honey the chicken hatched on Boxing Day 2021. He/she is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. Honey has had respriatory issues since they were just a day old and as a result seems to have stunted growth. Honey is a bit smaller than his/her sisters and less filled out. They are not great quality wyandottes so...

    Cross beak chick - thoughts on M/F?

    Ok I know she’s still really young (2.5 weeks), so not sure if this is even worth asking at this stage… but does anyone think this chick is a he? She’s a blue egg layer - either an EE or a WTB (not sure as I got some of each in my order and they all look different). But the three-rowed comb, the...

    Silkies Hen or Roo?

    They all look the same to me! I’ve known all along the white one was a roo based on personality and now he’s crowing so it’s confirmed. Pretty sure the black one is a pullet, but I’m terrible at gendering. Can anyone tell me what these 4 birds are? I’ve labeled them in the pictures for easier...

    Jersey Mike: Black Jersey Giant? Hen/Roo?

    Another game of: who are you and are you a hen or roo? This is Jersey Mike. They came to us in what was supposed to be a group of Black Australorps - that is until their feet started turning yellow and their eyes changed! We heard from a few chickeners that Jersey Mike is a Black Jersey Giant...

    T-Bone: 9 week old BA, hen or roo?

    Hi all! We have 3 chickens we are quizzical about when it comes to gender or breed. I'll start with the first one: T-Bone the Black Australorp! Super out going, always first out of the coop, always jumping up on our laps or backs - Is T-Bone a hen or roo?

    Is my Silkie a Roo or Hen? Also thoughts on younger 2 silkies

    I have a silkie( black and red) and silkie mix (black with white speckles) that is 10-12 weeks. I think both are sadly a roos but I am holding out hope maybe at least one is a she. Also I have 2, 8 week silkies ( white and white splash) that are probably to young to tell but feel free to share...

    Whiting True Blue Hen or Rooster?

    This chick is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering about the feathers along the neck. Does that determine if it’s a rooster? Or do hens sometimes have pointed feathers there? Very sweet bird. No other male behavior or crowing (yet?)

    Prairie Bluebell Egger Gender?

    I purchased all pullets, can you confirm this is a Prairie Bluebell Egger pullet? She’s 19 weeks old. Hasn’t crowed or laid yet. But her feathers are a little pointy compared to my other other one. I’ve had some Roos crow at 10 weeks so I’m hoping she’s a pullet.

    Easter Eggers - hens or roos?

    Good evening, We incubated Easter Egger eggs and hatched three chicks. They are 10 weeks old. I think we’ve got a definite rooster (Bowie), a possible rooster (Cluck Norris), and a hopefully🤞hen (Wiggles). Pictures in that order below. Any input would be appreciated!!!

    Sussex help!

    These are supposed to be speckled Sussex hens. They are so different I’m wondering if one is a roo. They are about nine weeks old. Any help identifying would be very appreciated! Best pic I could get of them together.

    hens or roosters?

    Hello, I’m new to BYC and I had picked up pullets from Tractor Supply. They are about 18-19 weeks now and I have gotten some eggs and it might be that some are just late layers, but I’m not certain that they are all pullets; and there seems to be one that are a lot louder than the others. I...

    Are they hens?

    I bought what I was told were 1 day old female black australorps from a local feed store.... they appear to be barred rock. These are my first chickens I’ve owned and I’d really love some options on if they are in fact girls. This is the 4 of them below today at 5 weeks 1 day old.
