Barnyard mix a hen or roo?

[dewpetals]

Well, nearly all of our first ever chickens have turned into roosters. This one is our last one to confirm. Hen or roo?

 

[Chicken Heel]

A rooster IMO.

Looks like a roo to me

male - looks like some male saddle feathers apparent, large comb.

if you got barnyard mix chicks from an individual, then they may have pulled all females to keep.

You can enjoy some chicken dinners, if you can manage that aspect, or rehome.

In the future you can get some sex-linked chicks - they are color sexed at hatch, hard to mistake. Also, barred chicks have some tell-tale signs that aid in picking females. If you get hatching eggs to hatch yourself, your odds will still be better than all males - you are more likely to get 50/50 males, females.

Good luck with your next batch of chicks!

What type of comb does he have? Is that a rose comb?

I think so.

 

[Yard Farmer]

It's a cockerel.
He's very pretty too!

Sorry, he's a rooster, but a handsome one nonetheless.
