Hen or Rooster?

[Theeremmy]

We got a chick from the feed store and she was all grey so I named her ghost. Well my fiancé seems to think she might be a rooster because the change in the color of her feathers are so drastic.

What do you guys think?

Probably a cockerel with that red on the wings. But it’s still kinda early.

How long will it take for me to be able to tell?

i agree, i think you'll be able to tell at 10-15 months. im not too sure.

X2, that being said, the angle is not that good for asessment.....even at this early point a good clear side shot of the whole bird may be sufficient to assess

Perhaps you mean weeks?

I'm no expert with identification of any but my own breed, but profile pictures please also if you can get higher resolution images it would help too.

edit-I will weigh in though once you report it crows!

I’ll try to grab her for a better picture, it’s hard to bend over the huger brooder we built while being 35 weeks pregnant

I would delegate that then, it isn't critical!

Still a little to young to say for sure. Wait a few more weeks. I don't see anything as of right of now that would indicate a cockerel myself.
