    Hen or Rooster?

    Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Does anyone have any advice as...

    Looking for help with sexing - 8 weeks

    Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

    Pullet?

    Theyre supposed to be sexed. She acts skittish around me and her feathers look pretty round, but she’s also pretty big compared to her sisters. Her name is Jean Jacket. Theyre 5 weeks.

    Is this a Salmon Faverolle Pullet or Roo??

    I have been reading that young SF chick pullets can be varied in color and have no tail feathers. So I am hoping this 6-week chick is a pullet, but I’m wanting feedback. She does have some dark areas, but I don’t know if I would say they are “black”. No black on her chest. Her wings are layered...

    Black and reddish brown probably-rooster? (breed and gender IDing needed)

    Quick backstory. We got 2 new chicks last week and unfortunately we lost one, when my family went back to buy another (while I was in class) the farmer apparently "threw in an extra one for free". Already knew it'd likely be a rooster when I heard that, but I also have no idea what the breed is...

    How soon do you notice roo behavior?

    Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance. A few years ago I got all pullets and still ended up with a roo. My question is how early do you notice roo behavior? I wouldn’t say his...

I went to my local feed store and bought 2 female black swedish ducklings about 3 weeks ago, and today I accidentally put them in a bath that was alittle to warm, and they started quacking in their adults voices! But one was a quack and one was very raspy…...

    Are my 3 week old Serama chicks pullets or Roos?

    Can I get guesses as to the sexes of my 3 week old babies? I have included two photos of each so a total of 4 chicks. I think the second one (dark color photos 3/4) is a Roo. I am also leaning towards a Roo for the last one (photos 7/8). The lighter colored ones photos 1/2, 5/6 and 7/8 are...

    Sexing Silver Laced Wyandottes

    Hi there 👋🏼 I recently got two Silver Laced Wyandottes, both were supposedly sexed as hens when I purchased them, however I’m recently noticing a lot of distinct differences between the two 🧐 they are roughly 7-8 weeks old now. Hoping to get some insight into which may be a hen and which may...

    Male or Femlae?

    Got these Easter Egger baby’s and me and the breeder tried to make sure we did our research on sexing the chicks by wings/feathers. Well we both second guessed ourselves in the process and did the best we could. I came home with 10 chicks. Hoping to have all hens. In this picture I have two...

    Sapphire Gem Rooster?

    I was told this was a sapphire gem pullet by the lady I got the hatching eggs from but I have my doubts. Attitude, size, and comb all have me questioning even the breed(comb made me think it could be mixed with an Easter egger). I've never raised Sapphire gems before so I was hoping to get...

    Sexing Houdans

    I have two mottled Houdan chicks and I’ve noticed that they’re developing differently. Still hoping they could both be girls but what do you think? Breeder says it could just be a difference in growth rates. She hasn’t been able to successfully sex these until about 4 or 5 weeks. Fuzz butt at...

    Silkie lover

    I have recently got 4 silkies that I am adoring but worried that I have roosters. I wont be able to keep roosters where I am. Sexing seems to be so confusing, and all of mine have different features, but sadly Im starting to think at least 3 of the 4 are Roos. What do you think? They are about...

    Sex of these Chickens

    Hi everyone, I have a bunch of chickens ranging from 8 weeks to about 16 weeks. Some are cross breeds so getting an accurate breed is nearly impossible, the others that we know are purebred. I’m just wondering what your opinions of the sex of these chickens are and breeds if you had to give...

    Need help sexing pekins and khaki campbells

    All 4 of these ducks are 6+ months old. We raised the pekins from ducklings, and the campbells were given to us at a couple months old with the understanding that they were a male and female pair. We assumed the pekins were both girls due to the lack of drake feathers on them and their voices...
