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

I can tell you with 100% certainty that Taylor Swift didn't come from an Australorp/Barred Rock pairing or Australorp/RIR pairing.

Ok, thanks.

Hi and thank you so much for the help! I have 5 mixed breed .. and a splash cochin- all almost 5 weeks. The mixed breed are from a Black Australorp rooster and either Barred Rock or RIR hens. They are very active, inquisitive and.. did I say active? I'm 99% certain that the first pic 'Arrow' is a roo, and 2 and 3 are 'maybe' pullets. The cochin was a 'last one left' so we took him too and he is very placid and gentle, but he is picked on a lot by the roo and will beat his wings and rake back so I'm thinking he might be a he as well. I have him separated with the other white chick and the two of them are very peaceful together. Right now we're going with the theory that they're all roosters until somebody lays an egg.

To young to say for sure but Arrow and Taylor Swift are looking rooish.

Here's a video of the majority of my flock. I can post a second one with the stragglers if that works.

Can't say for sure but the White one and maybe the black one look like cockerels.

We picked up 12 more "layers" to add to our flock early this spring 4 black australops, 4 new hampshire reds, 2 silver laced wyandots, and 2 auracanas. All were supposed to be pullets. Clearly not true because we have 2 black australop roos, a rooster i m not sure of the breed, and one that i think is an auracana roo. Both of these birds came out of the auracana trough at rural king. I m thinking the one is a roo silver laced wyandot and the other is a roo auracana.

Auracana?? Hen Or Roo??











We just call "him" puffy cheeks.

Silver laced wyandot roo or auracana roo or something else???













Thanks in advance! you guys are great!

They are both Easter Egger cockerels.

7 wk old RIR, she has a more pronounced comb and waddles than all our othe chicks but we don't have any other RIR's to compare her to. Very new to this! Is our Molly Weasley actually an Arthur Weasley?

I think you may have an Arthur.

I have a 5 week old rhode Island red and I was wondering if "she" was a he instead

To young to say for sure but I'm leaning towards cockerel

rooster????

To young to say

 

[Chicken Girl1]

Out of my eleven chicks, I know I have one rooster because he started crowing the other day. I'm 99% sure my welsummer is a rooster too. I'm feeling quite paranoid that my two golden laced wyandottes are roos too?? They are all 9 or 10 weeks old.

The welsummer...



Wyandotte 1


Wyandotte 2

Your Welsummer is a cockerel, the rest I believe are pullets.

 

[Chicken Girl1]

These are a few pix of our Golden Laced Wyandotte. We suspect roo because of the red comb, but it's still very flat at almost 5 weeks. What do you think?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm leaning towards cockerel but it is to young to say for sure so I would post again in a week or two to confirm.

Back with this Australorp, now 6 weeks old. Is there any question at this point, or is this 100% a cockerel? (They love their fermented feed, but they sure do get dirty eating it sometimes!)

Not a 100% cockerel but it definitely is looking rooish.

I am new to the BYC community and this is my first time raising chickens! I have 3 Rhode Island Reds & 4 Black Marans (Or so I was told). They are almost 6 weeks old and I am worried I have more cockerels than pullets. Any help with identifying would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
