What breed and gender

[Peggy-Sue]

Yes pumpkin is no longer with us... Hes on a farm with other chickens... We are loving our asutralorp we named her piper!

I have a few Buff Orpington chickens within my family. One of the chickens, Baby, is specifically mine. We are only allowed to have hens not roosters and I am beyond terrified that my chick is a rooster because if she is a rooster I have to get rid of her. She is only 3 weeks old right now which is why it is hard to tell but maybe you have some advice or tips or maybe you flat out can tell. Is she a hen or a rooster?





I am begging you, please help me! I love this little girl/boy with all my heart!
Thank you!

its to early to tell, but with how little the comb is id say hen!

well, i'll put it like this, she looks like she MAY be old enough to start laying soon, so within the next 1-2 months, if she starts laying eggs, then you will know! it all depends on how old she is! i have some rhode island reds almost the exact same size and they've BEEN laying for a while now! don't be TOO alarmed if she crows and you hear her, it does not mean she is a roo, hens will tend to crow for some odd unknown reason every once in a while... you will know! but when it comes to breed, i haven't an idea...

right now, she will look too dull and plain as far as the details of her. she is WAY too young to tell what she is! i would say a girl right now, but they REALLY start developing male/female features after about 2-3 months! a big comb, big wattles and pre-grown spurs are contributing clues linked to a roo... you will know!

I am 99% sure roo. And I think that it has alot of BRAHMA in him too. But I do not see the WYANDOTTE in him though.

This is my first real post, so I hope I'm following the proper protocol! Sorry in advance if I'm breaking any rules.

We have our first group of chickens that hatched from an educational mix in my son's school. There are seven total, but we have no idea about the breeds or sexes. I've labeled the following, hoping someone could help us ID a few of them. Thanks so much!

We're thinking Vanessa is a Salmon Faverolle female.


No clue on breed on Rosie, but we're guessing female.


Pretty sure Neville's a boy. Breed input?


No clue either way on Georgia.


Again, not a clue on Peep.

I'm also noticing that other folks have much more detailed pictures and descriptions. Can I add anything here that will help?

Ages, perhaps?

Also, if you don't get many responses here, you can make this it's own thread where it might get more attention.

Unfortunately, I don't know any of the breeds on these, although Georgia is very similar to my blue Marans pullets.
