    Hen or rooster?

    Hi everyone! Yes need help once again. I have 6, 11 week old chickens, 2 seem to be confirmed roosters. I’m not opposed to keeping one as we live in a country neighborhood, but I’m trying to determine exactly how many are roosters, and there is one more who seems “iffy”. From my extremely...

    Is my 7 wk Australorp a roo?

    Hi! New member and new chicken owner. My 2 Australorps will be 7 weeks tomorrow. We purchased them both from a local farm. Lucy (or Lou) has the beginnings of a red comb and a red waddle. I read that cockerels grow theirs early. For comparison, our other Australorp Lily, who is the same age, has...

    Hen or roo?

    Hello! First time posting here....I live in a smaller neighborhood that does not allow roosters. Sadly I had to give away what I thought was a hen this morning...he was definitely a rooster (longer tail, crowing in the morning) and when I got back from his new home my little lady in the pic, to...

    Rhode Island Red hen or roo?

    Buff Orpington hen or roo?

    Hi, y'all! I'm wondering if my buff orpington is a hen or a roo. Not quite sure how many weeks he/she is...5-6 weeks I'm thinking. She/he is my only buff orpington so I dont have another to compare it to! Thank in advance!

    Is this a hen or rooster?

    Hey! I'm new here and new to chickens. I purchased some laying hens that were at 13 weeks. They are now 23 weeks, and I'm questioning whether one of them is a hen or a rooster. It's a Rhode Island Red (I believe), and it's comb and wattles are getting quite large. I'm not seeing any spurs...

    Jasmine or Jerry?? What is the sex if this chick?

    Hello!! This is my 4+ week old Golden Laced Wyandotte. I’m starting to think Jasmine will need to be renamed to Jerry! She has a much larger comb than the other chicks and grew much slower. What do you guys think?

    4 week old Golden Laced Wyandotte, Roo or Hen?

    Hi! We have 6 chicks in the brooder. All were supposed to be hens. They are all different breeds so unfortunately I can't compare that way. The GLW has a redder comb area and a much stubbier tale than the rest. All the rest have consisently longer tails and totally flesh colored comb areas...

    My Four Chickens

    This is Cambria, my 5 month old bearded silkie/polish cross. She's a bit of a foodie and will peck my hands to see if I have any treats for her. I don't actually know if she or any of my chickens are females yet, but fingers crossed. ~ This is Blizzard, my non-bearded silkie/polish cross...

    Aggressive chick...is she a he?

    I have seventeen 5.5 week old chicks and I have a feeling Riversong is a roo. She had a growth spurt around week three and was significantly larger than the rest. The others have pretty well caught up at this point but based on things I’ve read here and elsewhere online, here are the factors...

    Is my 9 wk old Black Copper Marans a pullet or cockerel?

    I've had my eye on this one for weeks and I am suspicious that I may have a roo. Comparing this one to the sister I can see that the legs are thicker and the comb and wattle is more pink/red. This week the feathers are really starting to convince me that it's a cockerel. Thanks in advance for...

    Hens or Roos?

    Looking for your help, guys! I've got four birds that I need to figure out if they're hens or roos. Two are brown/multi, one is white, and one is black and white. (We need to get rid of the roos, per law). Thanks in advance!!! (My guess is the white and white/black one are hens).
