Hen or Rooster? 13 weeks

[junebuggena]

Okay so my chickens make noises but not that "original" cock a doodle doo. Is that normal for hens and is there a different kind of crowing that males can do too?

Trying to guess gender without pictures is kind of impossible.

Pretty sure this one is a girl. Does this egg match her size/ breed?

 

[Craziness]

Yes....clucking is different from crowing. You will know when you here it crow.

Thanks do you think the black chicken is a girl?

 

[Craziness]

I have never had Bantams, but I can tell you that my eggs got larger as my hen got older.

Okay thanks I am thinking about getting a Brahma do you have any tips on them if you do have Brahmas?

 

[Craziness]

I got two Brahma pullets in May.....They were a month old. One has turned out to be a rooster. They are not laying or crowing yet. Late bloomers. Very pretty.

Thanks I have always been attracted to the size and feathering of them!

Here are a couple more of the White Orpington.

He does look to be a cockerel.
