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

Great, thanks!! She is obviously the Queen of the hen house then! She even chases my dogs!

Haha, I have one or two that will peck at the dogs noses through the fence. They can be quite fearless at times, and then terrified by the most random things!

Good news!! After studying the little Sebright carefully last night, have determined that the little pullet survived, not the little cockerel.

Hi everyone! I'm new to raising chickens and have two 11-week olds that I'm worried might be roos. What do you think?

Here's BingBing, sold to me as an Ameraucana. This one is the family favorite, so I'm really hoping pullet, but the tail especially has me thinking roo... So far, quiet and not aggressive (knock on wood).

Here's Piper, a silver laced wyandotte. This one will jump on my back if I bend down nearby. Also very quiet (knock on wood).

Bingbing looks like a cockerel with those dark red splotches. Nothing masculine showing on the SLW, though.

Hi! I have 5 silkies and I suspect 2 are roos. One is super obvious but the other is a tad younger and his waddles aren't as pronounced. I attached images as files as I couldn't get the image uploader to work.

My SLW looks much like yours (pics a page or 2 back) and "she" has me worried too, but I think maybe it's just the rose comb, it's so wide and obvious compared to the combs on the other birds and when they hit this age it really starts to develop so we get nervous. I have no other SLW to compare to in my flock, I have a GLW that is far behind developmentally, so no comparison there either, but mine was voted a pullet too, so hopefully we both have some pretty layers growing

I replied before and didn't get any answers, so I'll try again

This is Lil Chipmunk, an OEGB that's about 3.5 or 4 weeks old.

Yes, I have 2 Straight Run BA chicks that are 7 weeks in the picture.

I would assume their combs would be red already if they were Roosters but I am new to this. What do you think?

One looks pullet, the other looks questionable. I have an 8wk Australorp and am finding that some are not that easy to sex. More time needed. Hope you figure out who is crowing.

They are leghorn

Still probably a pullet.

That was lucky!

Can you get some more pics of BingBing? Closer view of comb and feathers on the back around the base of the tail. The signs point to cockerel, but something about it just looks like a pullet. Need more pics!

Probably no answer because the chick is too young to be certain so it would just be a guess.

 

[orchardflock]

Any thoughts on the gender of these two bantams? Or at 8 weeks old are they still too young?
