Hello,
I live in the Florida panhandle and just got my first chickens in December. I got the flock as day old chicks, starting with 7 and now I am down to 5 due to a hawk and a possible heart attack? They are all sorts of mixed breeds which I think is contributing to my inability to discern which ones are hens and which ones may be roosters. I have been lurking on backyard chickens for a while so I figured it was time to join up and see if anyone can help me identify the roos in my flock. I don't think this is the right place in the forum for that so I will go look around and see where I may be able to post some pics for some help.
 
We are so happy to have you with us, @Pevie13 !

There are some one here who are incredibly experienced at discerning pullets from cockerels, and I'm sure you'll get your answers from them.

Again, I'm so glad you joined!

Hi and welcome to BYC. If you have not done so yet, the Learning Centre is a great place to start for anything chicken, and your state thread (just type Florida in the search box) will also put you in contact with other members close by. If you have not found the appropriate thread, you can post on "what breed or gender is this" for help with gender.

All the best

Post some photos (best if only one bird per photo) and we will try and ID them for you - you can also put photos up at "what breed or gender is this."

But please realize, they cannot be sexed just out of the eggs, it can take 2-4 weeks before gender clues are evident. If they are older, the accuracy rate goes up.
