    Black Copper Maran Sexing

    Last sexing question for awhile! 3.5 month old Black Copper Maran. Has not crowed or mated that I know of. We got 4 Maran chicks originally - 3 pullets, 1 rooster. But we got them all mixed up as babies and one of them died and we aren’t sure who it was. This one looks the most like a roo of...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Lavender Orpington Edition

    This is Violet but I’m thinking she might be a Vi Guy instead. Pullet or cockerel? 9-10 week old Lavender Orpington. She (he?) has a large comb but she has very short tail feathers so I’m not sure. Tail feathers not shown, sorry! Not crowing or mating yet like her 9-10 week old Polish cockerel...

    Sexing Silkies

    I have two silkies, about 9 weeks old, that we are trying to sex. I’d love some thoughts. We are new to backyard birds. Little Buff (buff) and Fluff (white) have become my favorites so please tell me I have some girls! ☺️😉 Not sure if it makes a difference but these two have been getting bred...

    Sexing polish chicks

    I’m not sure on age but I believe they are around 7 weeks old. Hoping for guesses on if these 4 are pullets or cockerels. Also the one that is sort of golden laced has a lopsided crest and it is starting to hold its head crooked. Does anyone have experience with this problem? Thanks

    Hen is Crowing and Mounting Other Hens Help!

    Hello! So I have a 4 month old hen who has started to make weird “crowing”-like noises (although it doesn’t sound like she’s actually crowing, more like a strangling baby screaming haha). She’s started mounting my other hens as well. If she didn’t look so much like a hen, I’d say she was a...

    What sex are they??!

    Hi, we have silkie chickens, one is a cross breed chicken I think. They’re both about 1.5 months old so 6 weeks. It’s hard to tell as they both have characteristics and features of both genders. Quite desperate to know and would be appreciated thanks!

    6 week old Australorp ‘pullet’ looking more Roo-ish

    Hello! I got a few pullets a few weeks ago. My australorp is one week older than the rest. I had chickens on our farm two decades ago… sadly I lost all knowledge. I do believe my Australorp pullet is looking much more Roo like. It’s a shame because this one is the smartest and nicest bird we...

    Barnyard mix - 9 weeks: pullet or roo?

    What do you think? Some pics of the chicken alone and with the others from eggs hatched at the same time. I think it’s possibly a cream legbar crossed with an Easter egger.

    11 Week Old Silkie Gender?

    Hello! I have two baby Silkies and this is my first time raising them on my own! I live in town (previously raised in country with my family) and so I can’t keep roosters. This little chick is 11 weeks old and has really bamboozled me. I have another one I am pretty sure is a hen and I know...

    Metzers gosling sexing?

    I’m curious how accurate people have found Metzers sexed goslings. I order 2 females (Buff and a a Toulouse) and one is literally 3 times the size of the other one (Buff is the larger gosling) - I have weighed them a few times. The Toulouse is doing well and steadily growing but from my...

    Possible early signs of Roos?

    #1 EE or cinnamon queen is what they told us seems to have some reddish on its comb and wattles are turning red as well. #2 RIR has a larger comb (thats turning reddish at the base) than #3 who is also a RIR Could this be an early sign of them being Roos?

    Sexing Easter egger cockerel or pullet?

    I had 2 pullets now down to this one. The other of same age (it’s roughly 10.5-11 weeks) had more feathering around the face and neck. Wondering if this is a he or a she. It acts like a corralling dominance asserting roo 😅 some photos from today (ones with more feathers) some from a couple days ago

    Tsc was selling chicks labeled Sapphire Gem Pullets but I think this one looks more like a Barred Rock and now I'm not sure it's not a cockerel. First pic is at five weeks

    Gender?

    Gender? I got this little bantam Cochin out of an assorted bantam bin. I’m really hoping it’s a girl because I only have one other little bantam to go with him/her. The other one I’m pretty positive is a girl. (I have full size chickens that I’ve decided to keep separate because I have a full...
