    Hen or Rooster? (Adult)

    Alright, I've come across sort of a weird chicken problem. It usually wasn't important before now, but I am really itching to know what gender one of my chickens is. Their name is Fire/Flame.

    Roo or Hen?

    I’ve had the worst luck with getting roosters this season! I’m really hoping this one is actually a hen, but I’ve got my suspicions. She (or He) is an EE, roughly 12-14 weeks old. I haven’t seen any obvious roo behaviors, but the tail feathers and size/color of the comb makes me wonder. Thank...

    Hi everyone! So I’m not new to chickens per se, but I’m new to raising my own. I just got some “pullets” and I’m really suspicious of one in my group of five. I dare not refer to “it” as a he, but I think “it” might be. The only thing I notice is “it’s” tail feathers look different than the...

    New to the chick world- Hen or Rooster?

    Hi, I have 4, almost 4 week old chicks. I've been thinking one was a rooster for a couple of weeks because it makes a different nooce than a simple chirp. Can you look at my pics to tell me breed maybe and then or rooster? It may be too early. Thanks!

    Do roosters have fluffy butts?

    My 7 year old insists this is a hen based on the fluffy butt. I say rooster based on comb and wattles and coloring. Chick is about 8 weeks old.

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Pullet or Rooster, 4 Weeks

    Pullet or Rooster? This is my first Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that I have ever had. Do the Wyandottes tend to feather slowly in both pullets and cockerels? This one is 4 weeks old and does not have very many feathers or much of a comb or waddle. If anyone has a photo that I can compare mine to...

Black with black feet that are yellow underneath. Black beak with yellow tip. No signs of a single...

    Rooster or Hen? (EE)

    They are about 5-7 weeks old... I think the orange one is a Roo, the tail feathers are fairly straight up too... but the Blue one I have no clue... both tend to keep the polish girls in check and reigned in.... What do y’all think?!?!
