    Is this a Roo? 6 week old Mosaic mix

    This chick is a mixture of an EE and Mosaic. Due to the comb and wattle size I always assumed it was female, but look at it's pointy tail feathers! That means it's gotta be a male right? Note, it's a Fibromelanistic breed so redness of the comb and face is not a factor i can rely on.

    Frizzle Gender?

    Hello so I had gotten two “roosters” at 6 months old and now they are at least 10 months old and getting red combs. They are bantam frizzles and I have NEVER taken care of frizzles so I don’t know how to determine their gender. The black one is definitely a rooster since he crows and try’s...

    Hen or Rooster? Bantam chick about 5-6 weeks old.

    This chick I presume is an Old English Game breed. As for the gender... I'm guessing hen but its orange-comb is becoming peachy pink. The comb is miniscule in size(it has the smallest comb) The fourth picture is just a full-grown Old English game Bantam, which is most-likely my chick's breed.

    Is this chick a hen or a rooster? And what breed is it?

    This little chick has been through a lot, with pasty butt problems and prolapsed vent. It was always a little runt. Now thay's grown some more, I'm questioning its gender. I'm sure its a cream legbar and assumed it was a hen due to the distinctive broen stripe running along its back and head...

    Rooster or Hen

    I have a Buff orpington that I’m not really sure whether it’s a hen or rooster. The other 3 are crowing but this one, and the tail feathers are throwing me off because they don’t raise like the others. I’m new to chickens btw.

    Newcomer to the wonderful, sometimes messy, happy world of chicken raising!

    Hello there, I’m Elisabeth, to my ultimate surprise my husband brought home 6 bantam chicks on my 31st birthday back in April. I was anxious and excited! We have 3 lovely kiddos 10,6, and 3, but no pets before now! We are vegetarian so we instantly loved our chickens and do keep them as pets...
