Sexed chicken

[Lisa Doodeman]

So today.
I really wanted to get down and find out what "Speckles" is Hen or Cockerell.
So I got a friend to catch her. Too fast for me. Turned her upside down and what I discovered was a little round clean hole and that all I could find.

I have been racking my brain and Utubing like crazy.

OMG im a crazy married chicken lady.

Um, hate to break it to you, but chickens do not have external reproductive organs. Both male and female have vents, and you're not going to be able to 'see' anything that would indicate gender there.
Speckles is difficult to sex due to that mahogany coloring, and the fact that the bird is just a touch too young to have really obvious male feathering. At four months of age, could be a slow developing cockerel or a fast maturing pullet.

Thanks.
Im new at this.
I just thought if Id see 2 holes. It may indicate Hen. That was my logic.
Being inquisitive.

Birds only have one hole, it's called the vent. Basics of bird anatomy.
