pullet or cockerel

    Meet the flock + need your help on roo watch!

    Hello all, new chicken mama Cassie here. I ordered 11 pullets from MMH that are now almost a month old, so of course I am now playing the paranoid “pullet or cockerel??” game. I thought I’d introduce the ladies and see if any of you experienced eagle-eyes notice something I hadn’t, especially if...

    Barred Rock Roo’s?

    Pretty sure I know the answer but always good to get another’s opinion. They’re almost 5 weeks old but have pretty prominent bright combs and wattles already coming in. One seems to be getting more tail feathers like my buff orpington ladies. One cockerel we can handle but two I’m sure will lead...

    Cross beak chick - thoughts on M/F?

    Ok I know she’s still really young (2.5 weeks), so not sure if this is even worth asking at this stage… but does anyone think this chick is a he? She’s a blue egg layer - either an EE or a WTB (not sure as I got some of each in my order and they all look different). But the three-rowed comb, the...

    Is my Silkie a Roo or Hen? Also thoughts on younger 2 silkies

    I have a silkie( black and red) and silkie mix (black with white speckles) that is 10-12 weeks. I think both are sadly a roos but I am holding out hope maybe at least one is a she. Also I have 2, 8 week silkies ( white and white splash) that are probably to young to tell but feel free to share...

    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...

    Silver laced Wyandotte Pullet or cockerel?

    Hello! So I have a SLW chick about 5 week old. It may be too young yet to know, but what do you guys think (any fun guesses on your expertise/experience). As I can only have 2 chickens, I am hoping it is a pullet. I got her from a feed store who got them from Ideal Poultry to keep this abandoned...

    Confirm my suspicions?

    Hello! So I have 6½ week old chicks that I have hand raised as our broody bantam rejected them completely. I have 2 black Australorps, 1 Buff Orpington, and 1 Easter Egger (was sold as an Araucana but I'm fairly certain that's not the case) All were bought at a local feed store and were marked...

    Whiting True Blue Hen or Rooster?

    This chick is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering about the feathers along the neck. Does that determine if it’s a rooster? Or do hens sometimes have pointed feathers there? Very sweet bird. No other male behavior or crowing (yet?)

    Larger tail mean cockerel?

    I’ve posted before asking and the consensus has always been pullet but this one particular chicken is really making me wonder lol Her tail feathers seem awfully large compared to her sister 😆 She’s an 8 week old Easter Egger 🥰 I attached a picture of her sister for tail comparison. Maybe she’s...

    I See Red

    A little update from my last thread. About a week ago, this little (silver laced wyandotte), the same little I inquired about a while back, started to turn red. Of all 12 babies, Ducky is the only one with bright red comb/wattle areas. As far as the lack of actual comb, all 6 of my Wyandotte...

    Salmon Faverolle - roo or just strange pullet?

    Nervous about this chick, because we just learned they will not allow roos in our area! We thought we got lucky because the brown on the wing came in first, but now she's starting to get dark... she also has very long wings and we read that was a pullet trait. I know Salmons have been coming out...

    5 wk old Mottled Cochin Bantam, Pullet??

    We have 4 Cochin chicks total, all 5 wks old, two mottled and a blue and a lavender. The blue is 100% a roo, biggest comb I’ve ever seen on a 5 wk old, and the lavender I suspect might be a roo too but has a significantly smaller comb than the blue. The 2 mottled (identical to the one in the...

    Sapphire Gem pullet or roo?

    This sapphire gem chick is between 2 and 3 weeks old, purchased as a pullet in a group from a local farm supply but I’m not so sure. From what I understand about this breed, the hens are not supposed to have this type of barring on their feathers? None of the other chicks I’ve got have similar...
