    4mnth old BLRW - Blue laced red wyandottes: hen or roo?

    I return with my 3rd post of these 3 chickens, who are now almost 4 months old (3 months 3 weeks). Hopefully they will finally be old enough to definitively sex! I've been confident for a while that I have 1 pullet (n.o 1), and 1 rooster (n.o 3), but n.o 2 is throwing me off. Has a smaller comb...

    Hmmm… things aren’t lining up. Barred Rock, Cuckoo Marans, or Dominique?

    Hello there chicken experts! I have three 5 week old chickens I’m unsure about and would love to hear your thoughts… Chickens #2 and #3 are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans (pullets)… or so they were labeled. I’m beginning to think they’re actually Dominiques. Their combs and leg color aren’t...

    Khaki Campbell Ducks and Drake(?)

    My five Khaki Campbells are now 24 weeks old. I am getting 3-4 eggs per day. Sometimes I get a double-yolk egg! I've had two so far in the 2-3 weeks that I've been getting eggs from them. I believed (until I got 4 instead of 3 eggs) that I had two drakes. Two of my birds have very orange feet...

    Worried this Barred Rock is a Cockerel

    I'm worried this one is a Cockerel. The only reason that's a problem is I live in the city. I live at the edge by a a very large park, but I can't have roosters. It looks like they may have sickle feathers. They are about 4 and 1/2 weeks old. Anyone have any thoughts?

    How many roosters do I have?

    Hi everyone, I hatched out 2 eggs from my own flock (white Brahma) and bought 5 more chicks (“Blue” Laced Wyandottes) from the feed store. None of the birds were sexed. They are 7.5 weeks old today and I’m starting to think I got mainly roosters. 😅 I get very attached (so does my husband) so if...

    Are they all cockerels?

    I am very new to chickens :D, I got these randomly at the feed store about 16 weeks ago. I got 3 of them and I think all three may be roosters..😅 at least one of them has begun to crow. I’m 80% sure the Orloff is a rooster… and am conflicted about the other two. help please! Can anyone tell...

    Pullet or Roo Ameraucana?

    We've got restrictions on roos + are concerned our 9 week old Ameraucana could very well be one. Anyone want to weigh in? He/she just started crowing a bit, but I've heard that could be true of a hen, as he/she is the dominant chick in the bunch.

    Roo?

    I have some roos I need to rehome but this one I'm still not sure about. Leaning towards roo, but no crowing yet. Sibling of same age is crowing. Silkie/polish mix chick Chick that is confirmed roo and crowing that is same age/hatch batch.

    Splash Silkie and Silver Laced Orrington need help

    Hi there, I recently got some new chicks and I am trying to figure out if I have a roo or pullet in both my birds. I have a splash silkie and a silver laced orpington. These pictures were taken when they were 8 weeks old. They are now 11 weeks old.

    New here is this a hen or rooster?

    The breed is sapphire splash and is about 4 months old. It started making a rooster call his morning but it looks like a hen to me. I heard hens can sometime make a rooster crow noise for some reason due to pecking order. Would appreciate your advice as roosters are not allowed where I live. Thanks!

    Cockerel or not?

    This is a bantam and I just noticed some some features that seem very cockerel like. This is not my chicken so I would love to get an opinion. This chicken hangs out in a group of 3 and they are ALWAYS together. And a little more wiggly when I hold it vs the others. They can’t have a rooster...

    Help Sexing 7 Week Old Ameraucanas (EEs??)

    Hi guys! First time posting here. I have a small flock of chickens that are 2 years old now- and this spring I decided to add some new ones. These three were sold to me as straight run Ameraucanas. This breed is new to me! And I've heard they are difficult to sex. Also from reading previous...

    Help!! Please tell me these are not all cockerels and how to tell?

    Hello! I have six 13 week old chicks. They are Easter Eggers. And I’m praying that they are not all Cockrells. I’ve seen so many confusing and varied descriptions on how to identify a Cockerel versus a pullet. I’m hoping someone can clarify on what I should be looking for to help identify. I...

    Roo or not??

    I have some bantam chicks that i got this year I’m im trying to figure out if she is just silly OR is a rooster. She (or he) crows a lot more than the other birds and just seems to go crazy all of the time running around. They also have a larger bright red comb. this chicken is just so hard to...

    What sex are my Orp chicks?

    9 weeks old and I’m curious to know what sex everyone else thinks they are. I’ve previously only had legbar/warren crosses and it’s quite easy to tell with those!

    Is my EE a rooster?

    Ok here’s a weird one. I bought 2 EE chicks about 16 weeks ago that were “sexed” as hens. Everything about them has seemed mostly hennish except that one of them, Flora, sprouted a beautiful colorful plumage and these gorgeous flowing tail feathers. I assumed it was just a cool trait since...

    What gender are our chicks?

    Hi! We recently bought some new chicks, previously 7/8 weeks old, however now they are around 14/15 weeks old now. At first we thought that our little Australops where all hens, however they are looking more mature now and we are starting to have some suspicions about some of our hens are...

    Sexing 7 week old chicks - Black Copper Marans?

    We have 12 chicks that we sourced straight run from Alchemist Farm. I am going to post them separately so that any experts in each breed can provide guidance. I am pretty sure these are 5 black copper marans. And also looks like we have some roosters. Multiple photos of each and they are...
