    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...

    8 week olds - cockerel or pullets?

    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 ?

    Can you sex silver laced Barnevelder by their white chests?

    Wondering if white chest is a sign of cockerel in silver laced Barnevelder or if that’s a myth? This one’s around 3 weeks old.

    Methinks this pullet is pulling the old switch-to-roo.

    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...

    8 week bantams breed confirmation and gender?

    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.

    Lavender Maran with Beard?

    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...

    Sex of 18 Week Partridge Silkie

    I posted on my Partridge Silkie a month or two ago. Most thought rooster, but I had a few thinking it might be a pullet so I held on to him/her a little longer. Now, I have my 18 week Partridge Silkie up for sale. What do you think? Pullet or rooster? No redness at all in its comb and I can't...

    One Cockerel or two?

    I finally managed to get better pics of my mystery turken today. Comparing this one to the one we know is a cockerel, I’m leaning more towards pullet now. While both have crowns that are much bigger than our other turkens, this one is slightly smaller and less red. Still, we are new at this and...

    Russian Orloff pullet or cockerel?

    I am soooo over roosters at the moment. I was hoping that one of my two Russian Orloff juvys might be a pullet. Any guesses? This first 5 photos are the one I am holding out hope for. The second five shots I’m pretty sure is a roo. They’re about 9 or 10 weeks old.
