Speckled Sussex Roo or Hen

[prizma]

I think it's a hen, my speckled sussex roo is only 4 weeks old and has a very distinctive bigger comb already, so I vote for yours being a hen!

The final verdict: Hen. She laid her first egg yesterday

Thanks for the update, it's always nice to see how things turned out, especially when they turn out like you want lol.

Pullet or Cockerel??? I'm kind of hoping boy but I doubt it.

Hi, I have 4 Speckled Sussex and I was wondering the same thing. Mine are 12 weeks old now. So was it a Hen or a Rooster?

I have 2 that I'm confused on roughly 9ish weeks.

Yet another roo vs hen question. I have 11 week old chickens which were vent-sexed as day old chicks. They should all be hens, but all the error I hear about make me wonder. Anyways, I can tell by saddle feathers that the Deleware and Barred Rock are hens and the Star is a sex link. I was feeling good about the Sussex, but now I have noticed green/brown iridescent feathers on her back, which makes me wonder. Anyhow, what does the all-knowing Internet think? Hen or roo?
