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

Thank You. I am not sure but the wife agrees with you.

Honestly I don't feel a 100% confident to say either way, I feel like its comb is to big for a hen but to small for a cockerel . How has it been acting?

X2. I don't see much of saddle feathers and there's no tail feathers to go by, so it is pretty tricky but hey... Wrong guesses can happen all the time. I called my rooster a hen for the longest time. Fellow BYC'ers confirmed him for me though. I really want to say confidently ROOSTER, but I honestly am on the fence

It is not acting much different then the others. I have three other cockerels and haven't seen any of the same actions with her. She seems to be a little bit of a loner.

Hey all! I have a pair of Brahma/BYMix chicks and need to know who my rooster is, if any. Both have pea combs and are about 6-8 weeks old.

Chick 1: Maggie (we think mom was an EE as she had very fluffy cheeks as a chick)

Chick 2: Rufio

So we got our chicks and was told they couldn't determine the gender but I have recently seen vegan videos where Male chicks are being ground up for dog food. Were we lied to? I will post photos tomorrow. They were hatched Febuary 18 and the family has a contest going on about gender.

Hi guys

I posted this a couple days ago but I think the pics went a bit funny so am posting again in the hope of some help....

Bought a mixed bunch of week olds (few weeks ago now!) and was told one of the bunch is an Andalusian...however I'm not so convinced. I'm thinking it might be a bit of a cross??? I'm also not entirely sure of gender either as this is the only one of the group and nothing to compare with therefore. He/she seems to have yellow legs and a pea comb which I'm not sure are true traits of an Andalusian (could be totally wrong however), s/he also has the odd golden feather here and there plus is getting a bit of a 'beard' like my lav aracuauna......

Any ideas of breed/gender??

Thanks so much

What are your thoughts on this one for breed and gender? It's 6 weeks old. Thanks!

Im leaning towards pullet

Great, thank you! Any guesses on breed?

at firfirst glance I thought white Rock, but I'm probably wrong [/quote

Well, the feed store said it was a white rock but someone on another forum said it wasn't. I've gotten 4 different opinions from various people so I don't know what to think. She was white as a baby with a faint buff spot on her head. She also has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen on a bird although it doesn't show well in the photos as they were taken with my phone.
Thank yiu for taking the time to look!

Thoughts on gender? They are all right at 10 weeks.

All look to be pullets!

Looks like a rooster. I'm horrible at breed so I can't help you there.

I'd keep an eye on the first one.. Little suspicious with those pinking combs at that young. Then again it could be an early bloomer pullet. Second one is a pullet.

Darn... This just confirmed my suspicions.... Rufio was supposed to be our rooster. Guess it might be "Maggie" instead. Not the worst case, I guess. They'd both sire cute chicks.
