I need to know my slw’s gender.

They’ve been acting mean and pecking at the chickens I know are pullets. They peck at their combs and eyes... (Roosters of this breed are generally very mean. It makes me doubt they are a pullet...)

 

[tuesdaylove]

How old is it?

 

[ChocolateWingTheRooster]

@tuesdaylove they were hatched in may... 4 and a half months.

It's hard to say. I had a Wyandotte that hatched in late March that, by August, was definitely a cockerel, but his comb and wattles were much larger than this bird's. It could be a pullet nearing the point of lay, but I'm leaning towards cockerel. I'm far from an expert in sexing chickens, so hopefully some other opinions come in.

 

[ChocolateWingTheRooster]

@tuesdaylove thanks for your opinion! I’ll probably need a few more though... all chickens grow differently, you know... so...

They look like pullets to me, but can you get pictures of their backs and from the sides?

Who told you that? All birds are individuals regardless of breed.

That appears to be a pullet from what I can see... Aside from the nice clear lacing the saddle feathers are all hen...

The behavior you describe could be dominating or maybe even grooming??

 

[chrissynemetz]

I'm thinking you have pullets

 

[ChocolateWingTheRooster]

@EggSighted4Life it would likely be dominance because I was feeding them a tomato... and also this website told me?

@FrankieDoodle here, these have a bit more of my chicken:

 

[ChocolateWingTheRooster]

@chrissynemetz ah, yes. Probably.
