3 cockerels, 2 pulletsHello, first time chicken owner. This gang is about 6 weeks. I think they are silver duckwing OEGB
. When they were chicks, they looked almost identical, but 3 of them had a more distinctive and sharper pattern. Now they have large dark combs. Im assuming they're little roos, but wanted a second opinion.
The one in the top picture looks like a roo and the one in the bottom picture looks like a hen.9 week old Jubilee orpingtons
Thinking pullet for the white banded one and cockerel for the green banded?
hope I am wrong and both pullets?
Chick #1 could be a cockerel but I'm not quite sure. #3 and #4 are cockerels, and #5 is a pullet. Chick #2 kinda looks like a cockerel but I don't really know ...Strange. Those links to the albums look live to me, but it could be that the domain is blocked for you. I've put the pics in line now.
Again, sorry for the poor quality.
-----
Chick #1 Was yellow chick, now mottled grey and brown - Likely an easter egger
---------
Chick #2 was chipmunk chick, now pretty brown and black. - Likely an easter egger
-------
Chick #3 Larger Black and White Chick, now mostly black - Likely an australorp or jersey giant
It's actually really tough for me to tell the black chicks apart. Sorry for the quality again.
-------
Chick #4 - Small Black and White chick, now mostly black - darker legs - Likely an australorp or jersey giant
-----
Chick # 5 - Small Black and White chick, now mostly black - lighter legs - Likely an australorp or jersey giant

Definitely a rooster.
Well,now that youve educated me a little Im wondering about my cream reese legbar in tje front (the gray one)
pullet
Pullet or cockerel? The other one has no pink in its comb. Thanks.6 weeks old.
Looks like a rooster.
9 week old barred rock, roosters or pullets
Hen
Pullets. Hens will poof up their neck feathers just like roos and fight like they do, too, just not as aggressively.
Five of my six Buff Orpingtons at 12 weeks of age. I'm thinking pullets at this point but occasionally I see one or two squabbling and it looks like they poof up their neck/hackle feathers - unsure if the ladies will do this too or if it's a rooster only thing. Will try to get closer pictures of my Australorps as they're more tough for me right now...thanks in advance
I think that's a hen. That second picture is awesome, btw!I'm having a hard time sexing this little chick. She/he is about 10weeks old. my roosters at this age are crowing, i havent seen this one crow yet but maybe a late bloomer
heres a blurry picture of his/her face
Roosters, for sure.
Hmm, well, you've got a few hens, at least. The ones in the fourth and sixth pictures look like hens to me, and I see a few hens in the second picture. The ones in the first, third, and fifth pictures look like roosters, as well as the last two. I'm not completely sure about the others.
These are all supposed to be buff orpingtons. This is only a portion of what I have but its hard taking pictures of all of them without getting them mixed up, thanks in advance!
