    Dominique Pullet or Rooster? 16 Weeks

    Hey! First time with Dominiques. I have 2, both at 16 weeks, and one is started to look a bit cockerel. Hoping I'm wrong and it is a big beautiful girl. They both have identical feathering but the faces are... a bit different. Are these side things sign of a rooster? When they were little they...

    Pullet or Cockerel - Purebred Silkie

    Four week old silkie chick with a vaulted skull. What do you think it is? I know it may be extremely early but I know some experts may be able to tell gender at this young of an age.

    This is our first year raising chickens. We got 7 buff orpingtons and one of them looks and acts very differently from the others but we don’t want to give him away until we know for sure he’s a rooster. He is about 4 months old and hasn’t crowed yet but pecks at us whenever we’re close by and...

    Hen or Rooster?

    I bought 4 Buff Brahama pullets or so I thought. They were all the same size now at 4 weeks old one is so much bigger and taller than the others and is kind of aggressive towards the others. Could this one be a roo?

    Should I change her name from Henski to Rooski?

    We have a Gold Laced Polish, Henski, that is 5½ months old. She has been crowing the last few mornings. We have no roosters but have a neighbor ¼ mile away that has fighting cocks - they crow day and night. Henski has also been trying to mount our other hens. We have no roosters (I hope). She...

    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).

    Is my Mottled Java a hen or roo?

    Hey, so I am new to the mottled java breed and unsure if this is a roo or hen. I was told when "she" was a chick that she was a hen but I know that there is always that 50% chance they are wrong. The mottled java was raised with an Egyptian Fayoumi rooster who is defiantly a roo. They are the...
