Can anyone confirm for sure that this is a cockerel? Approx 12-13 weeks. It was sold as a sexed female chick 😩 I live in the city with strict ordinances concerning roosters
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.
I have a 11 week old chicken, who has shown no obvious cockerel behaviour or cockerel feathering. When compared to my other 11 week old cockerels, this chicken is slower in growth has thinner legs and its comb has not grown much. Please see below pictures.
Please let me know what you think...
Ordered all of them as presexed female one day old chicks. Have a feeling there’s a few roosters in the mix but they’ve got me stumped. Maybe a trained eye can help. My EE’s and faverolles were a breeze to sex; these two breeds, not so much.
The gold laced Wyandottes are 11 weeks today and came...
We got a batch of six chicks from a local feed store about 16 weeks ago, two RIRs, two Black Stars, and two White Rocks. We've been convinced all of them were hens until just this week, when one of our girls, ChickPea, has started acting a lot like a roo. She's started to yell, but it's more...
Hello,
I am a new chick raiser ( why I would like more knowledge) and I purchased 4 chicks at our local feed store 8 weeks ago. I suspect 2 to be male. I have 2 Buffs, 1 Blk Australoup, and 1 Cal White. I know the Cal White is a Roo. So, we will have to re-home. I need to know if the other 2...
I have 4 EE’s that are 4+ weeks old. I was wondering if anyone is able to tell if they are pullets/roosters. I’ve read before that if EE’s have any sort of pattern on their wings, it’s a pullet - can anyone confirm that? None of their combs are showing any signs of redness (I know it’s kind of...
I thought that if people posted pictures of their chickens that need to be sexed in this thread then there wouldn't be so many gender threads floating around. So if you are uncertain of the gender of one of your chickens then please post them here!
A couple notes:
-Most day-old chicks cannot...
Hi everyone,
It is my first time raising chickens and I bought 2 Ameraucanas and one Partridge Rock. They are a little under two and a half months old now. As my partridge grows, I am noticing different looking tail feathers and rapid growth of waddles and comb. The comb started coming in a few...
Hello everyone,
Our chicks will be 6 weeks old on the 13th and I'm curious if you think one of our RIR's is a pullet or cockerel. Their comb is bigger than the other RIR and pinker. I will attach photos of both of my girls. The first 2 are of my chick in question, Reba as we call her now, and...
I bought 2 speckled sussex sexed pullets and the comb on one has me in doubt as to the sex of this one. I'm bringing them to the experts. What do you all think?
Hatched 3/4 so right about 2 months old.
I have two 16 week old Light Sussex Chickens, I think they both are roosters, one has a super large comb, one has a much smaller comb, none have yet crowed, and none have yet shown interest in other hens (mounting), but as I am unsure please see images below.
Large Comb
Small Comb

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!
Hello! I’ve got another young one that I can’t seem to tell if it’s a pullet or cockerel? Mind helping me out? :)
(I was thinking cockerel at first, but now I notice, it’s saddle feathers are a little more rounded off, although it is still only a few months old)
About 5 weeks ago we hatched our first egg. It was a surprise breed.... SURPRISE: Turken! although I’ve recently found out there are Turken Bantams as well, I don’t know the distinction at this age.
Anyway, my urgent matter at this stage is to figure out the sex. We live in a “No Rooster”...
I’m a devastated new chicken mama! Less than 2 weeks ago, I paid $130 for 7 young chickens, with the assumption/understanding that the more grown out they were, the more likely you could tell they were pullets. The 1st & only flock I’ve ever cared for was an established group of laying hens that...
