Is my chick a rooster

[sherry dalton]

My chick is only 10 days old but is making a weird noise like a rooster. Can you tell me if she is a he. The feathers tell me it’s a girl. Can you confirm

Way too young too tell. Wing sexing does not always work either. The noise is not crowing, that chick is too young.

It's too early to tell; you'll need to wait a few weeks to have a better idea. Feather sexing is not entirely reliable and works better for chicks younger than yours. Chicks that young don't crow. Enjoy them while they are little!

But she’s making a funny noise. I have a video but I’m not sure how to post it.

Some of my chicks start crowing as early as 3 weeks of age.
One of my pullets crow, but I think that's because she's part RJF hybrid. She's also mixed with silkie.

She's behind the silver one. Both are pullets.

My blue Partridge Silkie is a cockerel, & started crowing at 2 1/2 weeks old. Now has an enlarged comb at 4 weeks old.

She might be making a noise, but I promise you, it is not crowing. Hormones determine when they start crowing, and at ~1 week, a chick will not crow.

Too young to tell. Feather sexing only works for a small number of birds specifically bed for that trait by using a fast feathering male over a slow feathering female. And then it only works for 1-2 day olds.

Yes but I’m getting 3 new chicks on Tuesday. Hopefully they will get along

The noise may be him/her trying to cluck. My chicks have been using an adult sounding chirp as a warning call!
No idea though!
