pullet or cockerel

  1. CrackedChickenLady

    Hatched a Turken 5 weeks ago and trying to determine sex.

    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”...

    Help Sexing, think breeder gave me boys on purpose

    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...

    Whiting True Blue...pullet or cockerel?

    I've been thinking my 6 week old Whiting True Blue is a cockerel because it's comb grew pretty fast. The breeder that I got it from said judging it's tail feathers compared to my Maran's that it is a pullet and my Maran is a cockerel. However, these two have been puffing up and fighting each...

    Updated: here is my gang at 8 weeks. Looking like I have mostly girls but was just curious for feed back as i am new to the chicken world. The grey and black frizzles are cochins, the two twins are Easter egger/silkie mixes and the brown one is a silkie. Any guesses ?

    ABSOULTE GUARANTEE sexing tricks?

    I’ve been seeing a whole bunch of contradictory stuff out there about there being ways to autosex younger chicks by wattle/comb development and reddening, leg thickness, aggressiveness, all that jazz. Is any of this really true? From what it sounds like, Saddle feathers seem to be the earliest...

    Cockerel or Pullet

    Hey there, I’m new to owning chickens. When I purchased my chicks back in the end of February I was told they were all pullets, but we know that’s not always accurate. I have long guessed that my favorite pullet is not a she, but a he. He likes to be held, is top chicken in the flock Ect...

    9 week old Buff Brahmas- pullet or cockerel?

    I tried my best to get decent pictures- they weren’t very cooperative, lol! I think I have 2 cockerels, but wanted your opinion before I start looking to rehome them. Unfortunately, I’m in a neighborhood, so no roos allowed.

    Welsummer pullet or cockerel?

    I'm 99% sure this is a cockerel based on the bright red comb and the early appearance of some small wattles, but I'd like y'alls opinion as well. It's also very wiry and jumpy compared to the others. This morning it had a hold of the white frizzle chicks neck feathers and was dragging her around...

    Hi! I already posted my polish in another thread but now I finally braved getting the others out (they don't like me as much and they're much harder to catch!) Could you all tell me what you think? They are all bantams. They are all 8 weeks old (maybe minus a couple days) #1 is I think a light...

    Black Olive Egger cockerel? 8 weeks old with photos.

    I think I may have gotten this kid's gender figured out but would love some opinions. This chick is almost 8 weeks old and comes from watered down Marans hen parentage with an Olive Egger roo father. The last photo is the sort of cockerel I think it's going to be. -Thank you.

    I have two 9.5 week old chickens that hatched out of dark chocolate colored eggs. It was labeled as a Lavender Maran, but I am wondering if this is what a lavender maran looks like? It is quite a bit darker than my Lavender Orpingtons. They both have single combs, not developed or colored at...
