Roos or Hens?

[Yocelinsaldana06]

Can you guys help me sex some of my chickens that im confused about? First one is an ameraucana, 6 months old. Second one is a silkie buff Orpington mix, 3 months old. Third one is the same as the second one, also 3 months old.

Can you get a better photo of the 6month old's saddle region (right in front of the tail)? I can't tell if this bird has pointed (male) or rounded (female) saddle Feathers. I would expect a brighter comb from a 6 month old cockerel, but I'm still getting rooster vibes.

The last two, the silkie mixes, look like pullets to me.

They all look females to me but I don't have experience sexing silkie mixes. But I agree with AinaWGSD, another pic of the saddle area would help.

Your first bird is a slow-to-mature Easter Egger cockerel whose maturity rate seems to be affected by illness. Have you looked into respiratory issues? His eyes seem to be bubbling and he’s unkempt looking

I agree with you on that after I zoomed in.

Let me know if this picture is good enough, if not so I can take better ones. I’m hoping he’s a rooster but not sure

Yes I have him in arizona but recently brought him home to Las Vegas due to his eyes being foamy and him being super skinny. I have two of them and the other one has much more weight and brighter eyes and brighter color in general. I’m not sure if they are both roosters but im trying my best to save him and I believe he’s looking better. Just very hot.

Also can you help me sex this one? He’s 5 months old, has no comb or wattles and has never crowed but the lady who gave him to me said she thinks it’s a rooster.

That is a silver laced Polish rooster. Definitely male.

The white one is looking better. He is also definitely male, and an Easter egger.
