[Renee50]

wanted to say hi! Been reading a lot here since I got my chicks back in March! I have 8 now 9-10 week olds. They are Americanas - Chrissy and we thought Janet who might be Jack (I'll have to post a pic to get your opinions on if he or she), Black sex links - Pepper and Marianne, Red sex link - Ginger, Buff Orpingtons - Blanche and Rose, and Lavendar Orpington - Sophia. Yes 3s Company, Gilligans Island, Golden Girls and Pepper lol.
I think Janet might be Jack cuz he/she I think is trying to crow but because I've never had chickens I'm not sure.[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]
So what do you think hen or cockerel?

I think it is a hen,but I'm not completely sure about that.

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us.

The comb is very red, but apart from that, I'm not seeing much to suggest cockerel. I'm far from an expert however, but if you post your photos on the gender / breed forum I'm sure that you will get your answer - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/what-breed-or-gender-is-this.15/

Best wishes

Welcome to BYC Renee, I think its a rooster, but that's just an uneducated guess. If your chicken is trying to crow then we know it is a rooster. Which ever, this is a cute chicken. Good luck on your chicken adventure.

Janet looks like an Easter Egger, they are often sold as Ameraucanas. I'm leaning towards it being a cockerel because of the rusty red patches in its shoulder/wing and its comb is very red.

Hello, and welcome to BYC!

Cockerel, it has the red patches of doom (mark of a male) over the wings. You can also post at "what breed or gender is this," for more opinions.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I am not sure if it's a cockerel or not, but the bird sure is pretty!! Definitely post in our What Breed and Gender section. Sometimes they fool you right up to maturity!

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our roost!
