I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Cuckoo mix. Any idea on its gender?

Too young

Hi everyone! Full disclosure, I've been a total creeper for years. I was so excited when my county finally opened up to chickens. My friends have listened to me pine for a decade.

One grew so tired of it that I was given an incubator and eggs. Ebay eggs, mixed batch, no more information available.

Sex my chicks for me? I've attempted breed identification but really have no idea and I'd love input.
I've included:
day 2 (Q nn) and day 3 (B) wing pics
week 1
(Almost) week 4

They were lettered as eggs and kept names from those letters.
Baby B hatched first from a cream colored bantam egg. Pipped and zipped like a champ. Noticable comb. Feathered feet and early coloring looked like a bantam cochin (black). Feathers began tipping up, tail feathers were slow to show. Cute little frizzle feathers. Wattle growth this week.

Baby Q is a naked neck with feather growth on its feet. Early long wing feathers showing and early tail feathers. The saddle looks rounded to me. This week Q is showing lobe wattle growth, reddening, and a quickly emerging comb.


Thank you in advance!!

The frizzle and naked neck look like cockerels

They sure act the part! They spar in the air with each other when they first get out and take a few fly in pot shots at each other when the opportunity presents. They are faster than the dog at raising an alert. I haven't had chickens since my teens, and the frizzle surprised me with how whip smart it was right out of the egg. They are a motley crew, and entirely too sweet.

Thank you again!

I'm worried. These two are about 11 weeks old now. I think they are pullets but they have been doing the little sparring routine that my little rooster were doing....

The one is likely full silkie. The other is a mix with the same silkie dad and a barnyard Bantam mix mom.

I know this was posted a while ago but could u still help? I’ve got 2 chickens about 5 months old. I don’t know if their pullets or roosters. We heard one crow so that’s why we think we might have a rooster! These 2 also sometimes try to be bigger than each other and like to jump onto things in the run. I don’t know if that’s a sign their roosters. Anyways I really hope you can help me btw they are bearded silkies

1. The 1st three pictures are of our salmon faverolle. She is 10 weeks. Is she a "she" or a "he"!?

2. The next set of picture is of our 11 week old chocolate orpington. Is she a She?

3. Last one is a 5/6 week old Barred Rock. She or he

The Barred Rock is a cockerel. He is light-colored and wow what a crest!

Keep an eye on the Favorelle - a bit too early to tell.

I think the chocolate Orpington is a pullet.

It is certainly not obvious, but maybe put the Silkie in the first picture in a cage (with food and water of course) near the house while letting the other hang out with the flock as normal. See if you hear a crow near the house....that will help to confirm the unknown situation. If no crow after 2 days, try the other one.

Hope you can keep them both - they’re really cute!

4months old. Same size as the others, no different behavior, I don’t see saddle feathers, no crowing yet, but I can’t get over this comb/wattle! We did already have one rooster (crowing) in this same group of chicks, he showed his true colors verrry early. What is (s)he?!
