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

Here are a little bit better pics of both. Brahma seems like a rooster because of th darker spots, but I'm not sure.

I don't know much about Brahmas, but your BR looks like a definite female.

Hey @Faraday40
How is your lavender Orp looking? Male or female?

We gave our mysyery blue orp some time to explore her feminine side.


Her comb & wattles haven't changed. She's 8 wks old, and I'm thinking female now. (or else I'll have to do another photo shoot.) Here she was a few days ago. My yard was a flooded mess & all the chickens pretended to be ducks. Wet Orpingtons are very pathetic & funny-looking. None were posing like they usually do, and all I got was a bunch of dirty looks. LOL

The blue orp's 4wk old little brothers have more comb development than she does!

Beautiful pullet!!!!!


















All of these babies are 6 weeks old. I wrote my guess on the pictures but would love more experienced feedback since this is only my second season doing this. Thank you!!

I don't know much about wyandottes, but the rest look male to me.

For some reason the order is all funky but I hope it all makes since. These are all 8 to 9 weeks old and would love feedback to see how I did with sexing these. #2 and #3 act like boys but look like girls.

no guesses on these two yet?

Unfortunately, they're still too young to sex.

Okay. The Wait is killing me lol. Think they are going to be tiny. Hope.... If girls they'll be my broodies. The lady i got them from said they'll set on anything.. Besides being so darn cute.

She looks like a girl, congrats! I have an 8 week old chocolate orpington that is confusing me now. I thought it was a cockerel cause its comb pinked up early, but now it is looking the same as the pullets. I know the line matures early, so I am hoping it might be female. I have one of its female relatives that was quite pink in the face by 7 weeks. I need to get some pics of it though.

OK, after talking to TSC, I'm not sure if all my ISA Browns are male or female....here are some photos if someone can help me (and a video).

ISA Browns are red sexlinks. They are reliably sexable by coloring. Red with white always means female.

So the few that I have that are predominantly darker brown are male?

Males are solid white. They develop red leakage as they near maturity.

I didn't think to look when I bought them if they were straight run or pullets, and after calling TSC I was feeling very uncertain. None of them are solid white, so that makes me feel better. Not that I'd be mad if I had a few males (I kind of wanted one or two for protection purposes, and to hear them crow lol), but I wasn't sure what to think at this point. LOL! Thank you!!
