Unsure About The Gender Of Your Chicken(s)??? Post them here!!!

Definitely a pullet!





Thanks

Ok awesome! I was hoping so! I have 2 other chicks that hatched with her, and I'm positive they are cockerels. Pink comb and waddles already, & their combs are much bigger than hers.

So our first baby chick hatched today! It was amazing and we got to actually witness the unzipping and the baby emerge into this world!
I did this for my children to get to have such an amazing experience with hatching baby chicks.
Long story short, my neighbors had chickens, they never did anything to care of them just got them and let them wander about. They ended up joining us and my little flock but I never forced them to coop up or anything to keep the peace. One went missing and the other was killed by a coyote. Finally had enough and took the last one and put her in our coop with our silkies.
Well after that, we call her mother hen because in essence she took on our flock as her's I believe. She pecked them, which at first I thought she was being mean but shortly thereafter I watched her protect them. She makes them coop up, when they're fighting she intervenes and when they squawk she will huff up and come after whatever has threaten the little one even if it's me or my family.
Anyhow, after she lost her friend and stopped laying eggs that was until my neighbors decided to buy 3 roosters! My silkie babies are now 20 weeks old today.
I need to figure out how to keep these roosters away from my flock. Especially, now we've found that out of our 6 babies we most likely have 4 roosters. I'm hoping that some of you might be about to have a good guess at helping me figure it out for sure.
2 of them have crowed but the other 2 have not but there's 4 of them that fight regularly.
Sorry so much because my actual intent here was to see if anyone might know about my baby chick!

So I believe that the cross will bee, for sure an Australorp hen and a barred rock rooster. However, it could be one of the other two roosters which I was told one is an Ameraucana and the other an easter egger, then there's also my silkie roos now since I've been kicked out of being naive thinking they're just babies still since I caught one mounting another one of our hens!
I'm hoping to post the photos with their brand new day old photos with their most recent and maybe number them?
Again I'm so sorry for the length!TIA

Congrats on the chick. It is far to young to be able to sex at the moment so when it isa out 6 - 8 weeks old post again. As for your rooster situation I can't really help here. Only one image showed up as well.

omgawd no! But I was thinking it, I did try the vent sexing and it didn't have the point thing. Someone said the comb is pretty small for the age. But idk, sure hope not

My little, serema rooster tried mounting though, a lot

My silkie roosters are terrible for the last month or so, pretty much they got the voice to show me that in fact they weren't girls but boys! Ever since they chase my hens around all day long! Absolutely broke my heart

Hello! Hen or rooster? Still new at this and we have no idea.
She/He is super friendly, docile, and not pushy to the other hens at all. She/He has no spurs, but she/he is larger than the other production reds and she/he tried crowing today.
She/He is about 5 months and just started to try to crow where my rooster has been crowing for quite some time already.



We are questioning the one in the back.
