I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

Someone please make up my mind. Maybe I should post a poll just to see what kind of votes I get.

Do you see pointy feathers at the base of the tail? Because if you do that's a rooster. Hens do NOT have pointy saddle feathers.

I don't know what I did to Boo but at this time it's staying away from me. The good side of that is I'm able to complete projects but the down side is that's not normal for Boo.

Back in early March, I took 90 eggs from a coop presided over by an EE roo to a friend with an incubator. The flock is a mixed bag, including Brown Leghorns, EEs, Turkens, Cochins, and numerous I have not been able to ID from a Cackle Surprise Pack. She kept the ones she wants, sold a few, and returned 26 to me. They are now 3 months old, and some are obviously male or female but there are a number I cannot decide on.

1. Blackbeard EE


2. Blurred Rock (I have a total of 7 of these! I love the puffy cheeks.)


3. Colombian (?)


4. Crooked Toe EE


5. Crow #1


6. Epaulette (Pullet, I believe)


Post is getting long, will continue in next one.

Some of the pictures weren't the best, so it was a little hard to tell on some.

7. Desert Camo (girl?)


8. Gray (Pullet, which I am using to evaluate others)


9. MetalHead, clearly a roo because he is crowing but I think he has a fascinating color and stance so I want to show him off.


10. Walker Hawk
This one looks like an Imperial Walker to me.



11. Lightbeard EE


12. Russell


Thanks for your help and I love looking at chickens!

Thanks! Some of those are not what I was hoping for, but we shall see how the roos work out.

Silver (I think)-laced Wyandotte, 6.5 weeks old. She was sold to us as a gold-laced. A few weeks ago someone said she looked like a cockerel. What do you think?

Definite pullet, not very well bred considering the single comb...
