Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

I'd almost lay money on this being a black Japanese bantam. Very beautiful, calm birds. I have 14 of them.

The legs are dark and should be yellow but my hatchery birds showed up with a few looking just like that.

...

Possibly Black Rosecomb?
Sounds right. This one is a cockerel.
Not sure on this one right now.

Thanks FarmGal. Can I ask what it is about the cochin that let's you know it's a cockerel? And if you know, when sexing a bantam do you look for the same traits that you would in a large fowl?

Yes. The red comb and wattles at such a young age are what makes me say that. Also Cochins are notoriously slow to mature.

Hens or Roos?

All girls.

 

[junebuggena]

Not sure on age or breed. I'm thinking around 5 months old from when it hatched but not positive. It belongs to my friend. She thinks hen but I thought the stance looks like a roo. Any ideas?

Cockerel, that gold through the shoulder area is specific to males.

Thanks Bantu. I look forward to finding out what they are. I'll post again in a week or 2 and we can find out if your thoughts are correct.

I know I've posted about these chicks before but I just want to be positive so I can get rid of the roosters.
Buff brahma- has darker shades coming in-rooster?

Silver sebright- heard the pullet won't even get combs in until way later-so roo?

Some type of barred breed- said black sex link but another breed was in the bin too- Roo?

Welsummer- doesn't have black on chest- so pullet?

Anybody have any ideas? Also if they are too young, I will post again in a couple weeks. Thank you!

3 week old barred rock from tsc I think it is a roo :/ any other ideas?

Buff Orpington

Black australorp #1 I think is a roo but I hope not...

Black australorp #2

Porcelain d'unccle #1-second one looks exactly the same so I won't post the picture.

I am sorry if they are not old enough to sex. This is my first flock.

If they are Dark Brahmas then you have all pullets

Hi, again! Just doing a recheck at 9 weeks on these young ones. Are they all pullets? Are they indeed all Dark Brahmas, as their hatching eggs were advertised to be?

Well, that confirms what I said on your other post. One well on its way to solid black chest and one with the silver blotched look. It's 100% 2 males, 1 female.
