Both birds pictured have very obvious male saddle feathers.

Hi again! I originally had tagged this little chicken as a rooster and now I am just confused (though I think those are saddle feathers in the back?). Hatched 6/17/16

Last photo is of hatchmates and the definite rooster of the group. They are Lemon Blue splash cochin x Partridge Brahma so I am sure growth rates and combs will differ some. I am actually quite thrilled with the color whatever it is, it is lovely.

You are correct. there are definitely male saddle feathers coming in on the back. It's a cockerel.

Thank you to everyone that replied to my first inquiry. I have a few more chickens that I need help with determining their genders too. They are all 10 weeks old now.

The first one is an Easter Egger. At first I was pretty sure that she was a she with her even patterning, but now I am questioning that since she has started to have red patches on her wings.

And the other ones are a pair of Barred Rocks, who's combs have been getting pretty pink this past week.

Pullets

Does this much comb growth on an 8 week old silkie indicate a rooster?
