Another gender thread! Thanks in advance!

Pekin/cochin - cockerel. I'm not certain that the Polish is a cockerel.

So we’re decided that Dilophosaurus (the Pekin with red bits) is a boy.

But not 100% on T-Rex (the polish). Is there any way I can tell as he/she gets older? Might more photos help? To be honest I’m clutching at straws as I’d like a female but strongly suspect a boy!!

How old is the Polish? Stature looks masculine, but it is not showing male specific feathering.

Hi all,

I’ve joined and introduced myself on the other thread. Hello!

We had our flock of 4 birds (2 Silkies, 2 bantam brahmas) reduced to just the Silkies by a fox, so we’ve recently hatched 3 eggs so the girls have now been joined by a polish and 2 Perkins. Lovely birds! Pictures below.

I was hoping to get some confirmation on the genders of the new chicks? For clarity, the flock is (with their names):

White Silkie - Repeckah - female (100%)
Black silkie - Billie - female (100%)
Black Pekin with red gobbly bits - Dilophosaurus - male?
Black pekin with little yellow bits - Saltasaurus - female?
Brown Polish - T-Rex - male?

Once the male(s) start crowing we’ll have to get rid of them as we live in a residential area sadly. Not even sure how we go about that

Thanks,
Dave

Your polish is a very beautiful cockerel.

Haha, thank you all.

He/she hatched on 21 September. So around 12.5 weeks. I was she he/she was a boy initially, but as their hair has started to curl over I’ve become unsure! I value expect judgements, of course.

And thank you for saying he/she is beautiful! I agree, obviously.
