Chicken sexing:

[JadeFarms]

I was wondering what gender these were:

Picasso my golden comet. I think a girl with an odd crown.

This is my new Hampshire red, Mystery. I think she’s a girl. He was supposed to be a golden comet.

This is Jade, I think it’s a girl.

This is Juno, I hope it’s a boy. This picture was taken a few days ago, his crown has gotten bigger.

This is Westie my silky. I hope it’s a girl but I’m not sure.

This is Wildfire. I think it’s a girl .

Age?
I can only see the pics of Wildfire, Juno and Picasso. Picasso looks like a cockerel.

Almost 3 months. Picasso has the coloring of a girl.

I would characterize Picasso as having male coloring, and given the age, the size and color of the comb and wattles confirms that he's a cockerel.

 

[JadeFarms]

Actually, I shouldn’t have really posted Picasso I know it’s a girl.

Picasso is a cockerel. He’s just more red than your typical male sex link.

Wildfire and Mystery are pullets.

Westie I’m leaning towards cockerel. I think I see streamers and it’s comb and wattles are well developed.

The AC’s... I think Juno is cockerel and Jade is a pullet.

Can you get a picture of Picasso's and Juno's saddle feathers? The silkie looks like a cockerel, and the rest are pullets.

Happy about Juno and Jade.
I guess if silkie is boy I will breed him with either Rhode Island or Mystery. What do you think?
And, I read that Picasso could have gotten something injured and got hormones messed up.

Nice, I guess either way the babies would be pretty.

I’m not knowledgable in hormones and injuries, so I wouldn’t know what could have happened, sorry.

Picasso has really large comb and wattles for 3 months... Why are you thinking it is a girl? Just because it is a sex-link? Those feed stores make a lot of mistakes, some on purpose. I remember when I was taking high school biology we experimented with testosterone and put the oil on the combs of female chickens and they reddened and grew... Perhaps Picasso is a hermaphrodite with characteristics of both sexes? Where did you find that one, anyway?
