Hen or Rooster

[MaMaBird53]

I have 8 baby chicks that are almost a month old now. I noticed this morning that 3 of them have 4 toes......3 in front & 1 in the back. Could those 3 be roosters??? (Please tell me NO!)

i think most chickens except for silkies faverolles and some other breeds all have four toes regardless of gender? If your'e unsure, please post some pictures and we'd be glad to help you identify your chicks' genders. Welcome to BYC by the way!

Number of toes has nothing to do with sex.

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Now you know toes doesn't equal gender... post some pics!
