Hi Everyone,

I need help with gender identification, please! Breed posted above each photo(s)! I have someone who is coming to get my 7 week old welsummer rooster, she rescues roosters and let's them free range on her acreage. So I was hoping to be able to identify other roosters as I can't keep all of them.

Midnight Majesty Maran: Estimated 6 weeks as of Yesterday 6/12/2024 _ Rural King _ Was in Pullet Bin (Not positive on this one)

Black Silkie: Estimated 6 weeks as of Yesterday 6/12/2024 _ Rural King _ (I know silkies are hard to sex, i have no idea on this one)

Crele Old english bantam: Estimated 6 weeks as of Yesterday 6/12/2024 _ Rural King (I am thinking rooster, not positive)

Unsure of the silkie, the Old English Bantam does look like a male so far and the Midnight Majesty is definitely a pullet. Males are barred (sex links)

I learn more things about chickens everyday, I swear! Thank you! I did not realize they were barred as a male!

Your welcome.. a common cross for the Midnight Majesty Marans is Black Copper Marans roo x Barred Rock hen. Males will be barred and females will be black with none to some copper in the hackles much like a Black Copper Marans.
The one that I had laid beautiful dark brown eggs with speckles and she was one of my friendliest hens.
