we are very new to chickens we have 7 that are all supposed to be pullets but we dont know the breeds except for the polish chickens they range from 6-11 weeks old any info on breed and sex would be much appreciated thanks
That could be. I don't see much speckling but a Sussex/production red cross would probably look a lot like this bird.
Good luck with your beautiful new flock!!!
just curious what characteristics are making you lean that way? i am very new to this and trying to learn as much as i can about chickens..i really hope it ends up being a hen its my favorite one
The first thing I always look at is comb size and color. If it's bigger than your other bird's comb and more pink/red then it's most likely a cockerel, Sometimes it's harder to sex certain chickens by their combs, Rose comb breeds tend to have larger/brighter combs than single comb breeds. Another thing I look at is feather color, With Easter eggers the cockerels tend to have patches of dark red feathers growing on their wings and/or on their back closer to the tail, cockerels will also have pointed feathers that droop down at the base of their tails and necks too, meanwhile pullets will have more rounded feathers, Here's a great example of feather sexing
