Hi all I need help sexing my chicken

[Jazz86]

So I have a leghorn I was told it was a hen but now I'm second guessing. Im not sure if it lays as i have two white leghorns and sometimes I collect 2 white eggs. Here is a pic of it.

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

You have two pullets.

Welcome to Backyard chickens! It looks like you moved this to the correct thread. They are both pullets. My white leghorn hen looks like a rooster. We have some fun photo and caption contests you may like to check out. Here is a link to them. Have fun!!

What does pullets mean?

Pullets are female chickens under one year. Cockerel male under a year. I think

You hit the nail on the head. Exactly right.

Yep, and after a year they become a hen and a cock. Lots of people just say rooster though when referring to males, and rooster can be used to describe any age.

And here I always just said pullet until they laid an egg, then I would start saying he. And then I would call the boy a cockerel until I saw him do ..the deed...then I would call him a rooster!

Makes sense..one yr!
