Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.
Hi all! I got a second round of chicks about a month ago & included in that bunch were 2 Gold Laced Wyandottes. I am thinking that the one who's comb is a bit more red might be a roo, although am really hoping that's not the case. I wouldn't mind having a rooster, but we're within city limits so...
Hi there! I ordered some double silver laced Barnevelder (DSLB) hatching eggs in the mail. Due to the postal delivery crushing the box only one egg survived to hatching. Now this little, pullet?, is 3mo old to the day. Tiger as it is named, does not have the typical lacing of any of our other...

Pullet or Cockerel?? 10.5 weeks Mystic Maran. The black comb and wattles are throwing me off. This one is larger than the others. My husband said he heard a little one trying to crow and I’m trying to figure out who the culprit is 😂
Someone also told me that Mystic Marans do not have black...
Hi folks--
I have a lovely 11-week old Lavender Orpington pullet (Princess Kay).
She gave me a bit of a scare early on when she was just a week or two old, not seeming able to stand for more than a minute at a time. I splinted her for splay leg, as well as gave her extra supplements (poultry...
I have three pullets, a silver laced wyandotte (slw), a golden laced wyandotte (glw), and a black sex link (bsl). All three of these girls just started laying in the last week. They were hatched in February and were purchased from the store together and raised in the same brooder together since...
these babies were hatched may 24th, making them ~33 days.
out of the 7, 4 are confirmed males, while 2 are confirmed females.
this one in particular is odd to me- she has had very quick feather development like another cockerel, is large and slender-bodied like the other cockerels, and is...
I've tried looking at everyone's posts and looking up the anatomy of a rooster, but I still have no idea what I'm looking for. Help?
Prepare for picture overload! Let's start out with this cuteness. Heat wave and still wanting to cuddle.
I've posted when they were younger, and now I...
this baby came from my first ever batch of hatched chicks, out of the smallest pink egg i was sent. i know she is half salmon faverolle, but the male sire could be anything from black/white cochin to black copper maran.
she is very faverolle-heavy though, her momma did the heavy lifting...
I have a pullet who is a ‘Midnight Majesty Marans’, but her comb is way darker than her two ‘sisters’ combs. They have a reddish comb, but she has a pitch black comb still. She is 16 weeks old, and hatched in early February. I included a picture. Any good ideas on what could be going on?
Any idea on breeds or gender? Thanks
#1 peanut butter is a 9week old bantam
#2 tiny cocoa is a 7week old bantam with feathered legs and feet
#3 snowball is 7weeks old and not a bantam
I currently have 1 pullet and 2 cockerels and I was watering their grazing boxes and I came across what looked like egg shells. It was just a few pieces and they were very thin. I have no idea how since everything I’m reading says they shouldn’t lay until they’r about 4 months and she’s about...
Hello! I would love your guesses on whether my lovely Blue Olive Egger is a pullet or a roo. He or she is exactly 4 weeks old, most likely a Copper Maran and an Ameraucana mix. Purchased as a pullet from Ideal Poultry. Comb is very light pale pink, no signs of wattle at the moment. Thanks in...
hey guys, I wanted some input as to what gender this chicken is. They were supposed to be sexed but I’m beginning to question my Australorp.
She’s the most vocal of all 8 chickens. I have some mystic marans and barred rocks as well. But my Australorp is the loudest and is attempting to crow I...
My babies are 7 weeks old and it’s amazing how big they got! Just had to share, extra excited since it’s my very first flock <3 Piper likes to be at the highest point, I wonder how long they’ll be able to sit on my head lol
Can you guys help me sex my 3 month old silkie chicks? I know it’s hard to sex silkies and best options are to wait until they either crow or lay an egg but sometimes a few are really obvious so I wanted to see what you guys think. How many look like they might be roos and how many might be...
My largest pullet is about 5 months old, an easter egger. One week ago I noticed her stumbling and tripping over her own feet. Her legs seem to have gotten weaker, and she has a hard time walking without falling over. Her tail is sometimes drooping, sometimes upright. Only possible trigger I can...
