Am I a Roo or a pullet??

[Khelms829]

So I am an 8 week old chick and my mom and dad have no idea if I’m a Roo or pullet?? Can you help them??

It was born 9/18 and the only reason we were questioning it is because unlike the other Roos that hatched around the same time it’s very docile and doesn’t try to fight the others…

Well, personality doesn't always determine the gender. Boys can be very, very calm and docile sometimes.

At 8 weeks, definitely male.

That's for sure. I have some friendly, young cockerels currently.


Also, that's a cockerel, like others have said.

Thanks everyone for answering our question!! I’ve got one more… do the Rooster’s determine the sex of the chicks like with humans??

 

[Khelms829]

I'm pretty sure the hens do.

Well our hens must hate us because out of 22 that we’ve hatched we have 15 Roos

Yes if 8 weeks old that's a cockerel
