sex

Hey, i have 2 17 week old lavender orpingtons and im not allowed to keep any roosters in my area and im not sure if these are roosters or hens, #1 is on the log and #2 on the cinder blocks.

This is my only Cochin bantam and I’ve been waiting and waiting to see if it would lay an egg or if it would crow or start acting roosterish but it hasn’t. It’s been of age to do either or but my other rooster hasn’t been aggressive towards it or tried to mate with it. Any guesses if this is a...

We love our Dragon and hope she’s a she. 🥺 she’s so sweet and we aren’t allowed roosters. 15 week old

Hey all! A few weeks ago I posted some pictures of my chickens. I was trying to figure out their breeds and sex. Their age is roughly in the 9 to 10 week range. I think we have the breeds established, but I am not sure about male/female. Here are some pictures, what breed I think they are, and I...

Hey! I need help determining the sex of my new Muscovy ducks. I got the three older ones (the two black ones and the all white one) on May 19th of this year and they already had most of their feathers grown in. The all white one was a runt so he was very small and his wing feathers were still...

They’re 2 1/2 months so this is just an educated guess I’m asking for. 😅 I feel like a new chicken mama asking the question. The smaller one cries a lot and wants nothing to do with humans. The bigger is a little more approachable and does the took-took noise. No displaying. Second and third...

So I have two GLWs. They are approximately 9ish weeks old. What say you on their sexes? Y’all don’t go breaking my heart now! 😂

Hey Everyone, I know Polish are notoriously difficulty to sex, but I'm hoping some experts here might have a clue for my 9 week old Polish. I've had the worst of luck with roo's this year so I'm crossing my fingers that maybe this little one is a hen. What do you guys think? Sorry for not...

Hello! Please offer your insight on the sex of these birds. They are 7 weeks old and were hatched out from “barnyard mix” hatching eggs from a farm. We do not know the breed or which breeds they have at the farm. I have numbered them 1,2 and 3 in the photos. If you have guesses on breed...

I am a first time chicken owner. I recently got x7 day-ish old chicks sexed as hens from Orchard Ridge Farm in Gorham, Maine. I am not positive where they source them from, but it is a local hatchery in the north east. My order *should* have included the following, but I am not so certain that I...

I have a light Brahma about 5/6 weeks old who came from a female bin at Runnings. I'm becoming suspicious she is actually a he though because she's got bright red wattles coming in already, and she's turning into a bit of a jerk. She's also surpassed my oldest chick(at least a week older) in...

I hatched these sometime in May, I wanted some other opinions on their genders. The one has a darker comb as I think I accidentally kept a Silkie in the mix with my Cochins. Either way, both are cute.

I have just purchased four Tolbunt Polish, I'm unsure of how to sex them as none seem to have any comb or wattles. They seem to have feathers in their crests as well as around the backs of their necks growing in which in my mind means roosters. Needing another opinion. (Pictures are all of the...

Got my birds from a somewhat local breeder,1.5 hrs away, who delivers through our area to surrounding counties. When I ordered our chicks I stated all hens except for 1 gold laced Wyandotte to be a rooster. He replied through messenger ok and we met up. One blue laced wyandotte had a curled foot...

Hi! We have four alleged pullets which were all allegedly hatched on April 1 and 3 (so about 9 weeks ago). The Jubilee Orpington (JO), Barred Rock (BR), and Salmon Faverolle (SF) all were picked up when they were allegedly 10-12 days old, but I really have some doubts that the SF was as old as...

This Orpington chick is about 5-6 weeks old. The parent options are: white or buff roo lavender or chocolate hen They were all together and we don’t know who hatched what. Any ideas what color(s) this chick could be? And while we’re here - do we think it’s a pullet or cockerel? Thanks for...

The only rooster we have is polish so all chicks will be at least part polish. we also have some easter egger hens so some will be EE/polish mixes. are the chicks with crests on their heads straight polish or could those be EE/polish mixes??

So, about 6 weeks ago we got 12 straight run chicks from Tractor Supply Co. We got 6 RIR and 6 Orpington. Now, I get the feeling I may only have about two hens of each kind 😅 I’ll share some pictures, and you guys can let me know what you think!
