7 week old Lavender Orpington

[Nickeysixx]

Oh, and welcome to BYC!

Thank you, I'm in South Australia and only just came across this site

 

[Nickeysixx]

Welcome!! Honestly just looks like a hen to me from what I'm seeing. Is there a reason you're questioning its sex? Like something you've noticed?

I've only just got back into chickens and bought a variety of 17 unsexed day olds. They're about 7-8 weeks now and sadly I'm not allowed roosters where I am. And thank you

Cockerel. I'm sorry.

 

[Nickeysixx]

Cockerel. I'm sorry.

Oh man I'm gutted I had a feeling to start off with but I was hopeful as it's such a nice chook. I have some other breeds I should post for confirmation

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Agree, looks like a boy. Big comb for age and wattles coming in. So sorry.

7 weeks old ? It's most likely a cockerel.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Cockerel.

 

[Painted Calls]

You have a pretty little cockerel.

Both males and females are chickens

Well technically males are considered roosters and females are the ones called chickens

Well technically males are considered roosters and females are the ones called chickens

No technically both are chickens (the species)

and males are called roosters
and females are called hens
