Hi I've has chickens in the past and usually can identify a rooster in may I ordered all pullets as chicks from a reputable farm one of my girls is I think a boy need some help please
Sadly, where I live, we are not allowed to have roosters in town only hens. So, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't be asking and just enjoy watching them grow. The cochins I have now, I bought with 8 different other chicks, I got 7 now one died. They were all supposed to be pullets, but I do...

I got these two supposedly Speckled Sussex chicks. However, someone called the species into question due to the lack of speckling in the body. Do they look like Speckled Sussex? Can you tell if they are roos or pullets? Any insight is appreciated!

I'm a chicken newbie and feel that my 7.5 week black Australorp is suspect for either being a dominant hen or a roo. However, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any insights?

Hey all!
this forum is great. I’m trying to tell if this barred rock is a rooster. I have 6 that are about 15 weeks old. None of them have wattles yet except this one which has pretty long wattles.It seems like it’s hackle feathers are a bit longer too. Any help?

we have a 4.5 week leg horn and we think the other is a black australorp (has beautiful green tint in its feathers) so these guy are always fighting puffing out thier neck feathers. I'm 90% sure they are both boys very bossy but so loving. What do you all think roos? Our other one who...
Hey everyone! I posted on here earlier today trying to see if my Freckles is a roo or hen. I took some more photos for hopefully a better view. He/she will be 4wks on Thursday. I know it may be too early, I’m just curious and having fun! I’m posting again because I wasn’t sure if I needed to put...
Is anyone able to tell me if the Plymouth rocks pictures here are both pullets or is the lighter one a cockerel? They are 12 weeks 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.

I have 2 Lavender Sussex Chickens, one is 19 Weeks Old and one is 16 weeks old. I believe the older one is a rooster, the wattles are red but the comb is still a pinkish colour, the younger chicken still has pinkish wattles and comb. Please see images below.

I have one 19 Week old Barred Rock, which I think is Rooster as it has arching tail feathers, but still has small comb, shouldn't roos at this age have a larger comb? Please see images.
I also have two 16 week old Barred Rocks, to which I have no clue whether they are male or female, I have...
Hi, I will be posting 3 different posts. 1 per chick. Here's #1 It's showing head and wing. 10-11 days old. This one does not have a full white circle around either eye. The feathers are rounded. Some say it's a cockerel anyway. Others say a hen. What say you??
Howdy all! I have two Silver Laced Wyandottes and Agatha seemed to grow wattles overnight (more like a week) and has a slightly larger comb (though it doesn’t seem to be getting bigger), so I’m thinking she might actually be a roo. The only thing keeping me on the fence is the fact that the...
