    Phoenix and Silkie

    Hello Again! I was able to confirm that the Red Pyle OEGB is for sure a Rooster. Now, I think the Phoenix could be one as well as the Silkie. The Silkie is just very feisty, and seems to want to try and pick a fight with everyone, especially the OEGB. The Phoenix just has a very large comb, and...

    Welsummer chicks: two pullets, or is one a cockerel?

    Acquired two Welsummer chicks from a local source, supposed to both be female. They'll have just turned six weeks and are developing quite differently, however. Specifically, one has a much more noticeably developed comb and different colorations. Being so young, they are quite hard to...

    Easter Eggers - sexing help

    Hi all, Any thoughts on our birds? Roos not allowed here so I'd like to find out asap before my son becomes too bonded to any of them. That's stain on the blonds head not blood (its non toxic). Thanks! Edit sorry pictures not the best, they were grouchy.

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Around 6-7 weeks old buff orpington. I know the picture isn't showing the underside of her chin but there's no wattle there yet. She's developing a little faster than the rest of the chicks so I'm worried I have myself a boy instead of a girl. She's my dad's favorite but roosters are illegal...

    Sexing D'Uccle Bantams (Mille Fleur and Porcelain)

    Hi everyone! I have 4 SR bantam d'uccles from Ideal that are now ~3 weeks old. I know it's still early (I'll keep posting weekly, as week-by-week threads from others have been SO helpful/interesting), but I'd love to start getting some input on what sexual traits my chickies may be exhibiting...

    Did I misgender my African grey goose?

    My husband and I got sexed goslings from metzer farms last spring; we named the female African grey “Odette,” the male African grey “Goostav,” & the female white Chinese “Lucy Goosey.” Unfortunately we lost Lucy Goosey and (who we thought was) Goostav to a predator when the 3 were...

    6 Week Barred Rock - pullet or cockerel?

    Do you think this barred rock is a pullet or a cockerel? I was convinced it was a cockerel because of its coloring, and it developed a comb before the rest of the chicks. But, now the comb looks similar to the others, and it's about the same size, if not smaller. The last pic is of the pullet...

    Coturnix coloration

    They are three weeks old now! Any idea on colors yet? And if not how old do they have to be, I'm super curious what I have 🥰 This is my first hatch and I was not expecting anything other than a 'normal brown' from these eggs that I picked up at a reptile expo! I know I'm going to have to vent...

    2.5 month old Silkies :)

    Let’s play a chicken keeper’s favorite game: pullet or cockerel? Here we have Pipsqueak. It’s a 10 week old bearded Silkie, too young to sex but always entertaining to try and guess. Personality: stays close to mom, docile, still squeaking like a chick. Crest is still forming.

    Sexing D'uccles

    Hi guys! I'm new to d'uccles and am trying to learn a little more about them. Any tricks to sexing them other than comb development? I have two babies that I got that appear to have some age difference between them, but also significant difference in comb size. I'm honestly not even sure how old...

    I have a silkie( black and red) and silkie mix (black with white speckles) that is 10-12 weeks. I think both are sadly a roos but I am holding out hope maybe at least one is a she. Also I have 2, 8 week silkies ( white and white splash) that are probably to young to tell but feel free to share...

    Cockerel?

    Still hoping I am wrong but today Nina’s 3.5 week old EE comb is looking awfully pink to me I think I see reddish feathers coming in on the neck/shoulders too, but not sure if this the same male feather trait I’ve seen mentioned in other threads?
