Post Pictures of Chickens that need to be Sexed Here!

Yes! A good little guy, it’s good to catch a cockerel at a young age so you can pamper him early on and make him very friendly

I realized he must be when I saw that comb! He also tried to "flog" me. Pretty unsucessful since he doesn't have any spurs. I will definitely be handling him!

I was told when I bought this chick at 3 weeks old that she was absolutely a she. I also got two additional chicks at the same time who fight over her attention. The more I read on this Site I’m questioning whether or not she’s a he or she. I was told that she/he is a Frizzled Barred Rock, but also don’t see the frizzle characteristics, other than head feathers. Can you help me solve this puzzle as I can’t have roosters in my neighborhood. I haven’t heard any crowing yet, and she/he should be about 10 weeks old.

Looks more like a Polish mix. It looks like pullet to me.

Clearer feather photos please.
It does look like it has some polish at least.

Face looks pullet...I'm suspicious of that pattern. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
I'm voting cockerel.

I’m definitely overthinking it. I see more white feathers from barred rock, the the feathers around the upper chest/neck area are pointy. However, if cockerel, wouldn’t he be crowing by now.

The legs are thin, no sign of prominent red on the comb, wattles, or face. The tail is straight whereas a cockerel's feathers would be more curved and thin at the tip. The face shape is also feminine so I vote pullet.

Not at all. Some would be crowing by now, but the majority wouldn't be.
Pattern is making me say male. I'd be interested to see how he/she turns out.
I'd go by pattern over other things any day.
