Breeds and genders

[Chicken-mumma]

Blue and Black Australorps are cockerels. I suspect the runt might be as well. All others pullets!

Thank you. That's the way I'm leaning too. Such a shame he's the only one (so far) that will sit happily in my lap and fall asleep.

Thank you for all your advice so far. Yesterday I returned 3 roosters back to the breeder (splash Orpington, blue Australorp and Marans). Unfortunately the other week our little runt passed away. I am holding on to the Black Australorp as he hasn't started crowing yet, and he is just so handsome.

I was hoping that was all the. It's, but now one of my gold wyandottes has started growing a curly tail. Is she really a he?

She is a pullet. Tail feathers are not indicative of gender at this age.

I'm regards to what sex your chicks are, its very difficult to tell at this age. I recommend sharing pictures of them again at around 2 months of age.

Very pretty chicks!

Gosh I feel dumb. Didn't realize how old this thread was. Looks like you got it under control.

They are beautiful! And yes, your wyandotte is a she still!

Thank you! That makes me so happy. That means out of the 12 chicks I had, I ended up with 7 hens yay! What a journey it's been. Thank you to everyone who helped out. What a great community
