    Is My Chick a Hen or Rooster?

    I've been raising five chicks from hatching for a month now (with the edition of a late hatcher) and upon hatching I determined that all of them would be hens. However I'm now having some doubts. This is my oldest chick who is almost 4 1/2 week old, born on June 21st. Its a full Americana. When...

    6-7 week old silkies possible cockerels?

    These silkies are all around 6 or 7 weeks and a few of them are giving cockerel vibes and not just because of some of the combs, can anyone confirm my suspicions?

    Hen or Roo?

    We have a 8 week old EE from a hatchery. EE in question was sexed female, but obviously at 1 day old that can't be 100%. "She" is our only EE, so we don't have another to compare her to. Over the past week "her" comb has gotten bigger and darker which made me question if maybe she was a he...

    Hen or Roo? Barred rock mix chicks - 8 weeks old

    Hi, These guys were supposed to be cuckoos, due to the feet coloration we are thinking more barred rock, but I was told due to some of the coloration they don't appear pure bred and are probably mixed. Most from TSC, red banded chick is from rural king. Around 8 weeks old as of Yesterday...

    Is this a pullet/female?

    I have 2 Blue Australorps. Hatched September 2, 2023. One has a longer tail than the other. They did say they were supposed to be pullets when I got them. Does anyone know if they are both pullets/females?

    Help! Big nosed Ameracauna chicks. Hen or rooster?

    Hey there! I got some new Splash Ameracauna chicks the other day and I'm having a hard time telling if they are male or female. They are approximately 4 weeks old. Their beaks and nostrils look abnormally large to me but maybe that's just the breed. What do you guys think? Chick 1 Chick 2

    4 week chicks - Pullets?

    So I have three 4 week old chicks (exactly 28 days today), one barred rock (Owl), one sapphire gem (Cinder), and one buff orpington (Daisy). The orpington I'm not concerned about, as I'm about 99% certain she's a pullet. The barred rock I vacillated on for a while due to temperament and a more...

    Looking for guidance if these two are actually pullets or really cockerels!

    Hi! New chicken owner here. This is our first year getting chickens, and I’m a complete rookie. I’ve read a ton, and talked to friends who have chickens. I know it’s not a 100% right yet to identify the sexes. My daughters and son are getting pretty attached to these cuties who are 6 weeks old...

    Cross Beak Chicken Losing Feathers

    I have an Ameraucana chick that has developed cross/scissor beak so I've been mixing up baby bird formula and chicken food for her to eat. She (not sure the gender yet but I'm hoping for a pullet) comes to the door when she's hungry and has been consistently gaining weight. She's still half the...

    Did I buy roosters?

    When I bought my 4 chickens they were labelled as pullets, but I'm having my doubts about that. The two brownish ones (Blue & Echo) are Golden Comets, and the two black and white ones (Delta & Charlie) are Easter Eggers. They're all right around 2 months old, but any thoughts on if they're hens...

    Pullet or cockerel

    When I got Bridget and Poppy I was told they were both pullets. My hubby isn't sure about Bridget. They are both beautiful Welsummers but we aren't sure now. Poppy is the cream and lavender, Bridget is the darker one

    Blue Polish

    Based on what I've read online about difference in feathers between the two genders I'd say this is going to be a hen. But I cant check its comb to check if its pink or red, so anyone who's raised polish before could you shed some light

    Is my 8 week old Barnevelder a cockerel?

    Hello all. I have an 8 1/2 week old Barnevelder that I got from a hatchery and have a feeling it is a cockerel. Its sister (Barnevelder) doesn't even have its wattle and the comb is so much smaller. Would appreciate some help here. I am new to this!

    Blue laced red Wyandotte’s determining gender

    So I have a couple of 10 week old blue laced red Wyandotte’s that I think are pullets. I had three my last batch and all ended up to be roosters. They had very obvious wattles at this age and were sparing with each other all the time. These two have very feminine faces but one has less...

    Any guesses, pullet or cockerel?

    I hatched this little one on April 5, 2019 It came from shipped silkie eggs. The breeder sells these guys as showgirls...but it doesn't have the typical silkie feathers you see with showgirls. Breeder has NN and silkies, my guess F1 NN/silkie Any guess as to wether it's a cockerel or pullet? My...
