Hello everyone I'm still trying to figure out the gender and breed of my 15 week old chicken. I'm hoping that it's a pullet.

thank you for your time

Cockerel or pullet?

Brabanter? ..give me a pic of its nosterals I can give you a good guess. ...love that breed. My guess at that age would be roo based on color and the details of the nose that I can see. But its still a guess at this age.

OK so I have 4 chicks that are now 5 weeks old. They are Svart Hona or Swedish Black Hens. I think they are old enough to tell, but I am not sure. I am calling them by their band color, hence the weird names, they may have real names at some point but right now I am telling them apart by band color. So the question is, pullet or cockerel?

First: Purpley.



Second, Bluey:




Third, Redy:




And fourth, Greeny:




If these pics are not sufficient I can take more, just did not want to spam everybody with tons of pics! Thank you!!

Hoping they are not all cockerels...

Way too early to tell anything whatsoever. Check back when they are 10-12 weeks of age.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize! I had read the first post of the thread and it said "at least 4 weeks" so I thought it would be apparent to some people. I will wait and post pics later, then.

These guys are 5 weeks old. I know that's very young to try and tell but I think I remember reading somewhere that the reddish coloring on EEs means they are for sure males.

Dark red patches, and well developed pink combs means that you have two boys.

I did the same thing. I think some breeds can be done at 4 weeks.

Some boys are very obvious, very early on. Some can take about 14 weeks to be obvious. Depends on a lot of factors.

My white silkie, Opal, is in question. I think she may need a manly name.. she will be 12 weeks old on Monday.
