Who am I and what is my gender :-)

[MegTheHenEggQueen]

Also I’m just doing this for fun I’m not too worried if I do have roosters. I just love this site and all the people and questions and knowledge! I’m a city girl and got chickens 3 years ago first time. My son wanted some bc our 16 year old black lab passed. Love them!

Smaller 3 (2 brown and 1 black) are just shy of 5 months old and all the others are almost 7 months old. Ok we will have photo overload today in this thread. I typically know 100% the sex of the chicken. But when it comes to Easter Eggers I sometimes am clueless. I will post some Easter Eggers, some with 1 parent as an egger and the other wasn’t and some that are not an egger at all! So guess my gender and what type of chicken the parents are you think ;-) I will add I breed my own chickens however I sometimes lose track after the egg hatches on which egg it came from. The smallest chickens in these pics so the brown one with black tail feathers (that I think is a rooster) and the all black one with gold on hackle feathers (also think it may be a rooster) I am not sure what breed the fathers are. I housed some chickens on some friends land for a little bit and when I brought the hens back I wanted to keep for myself I incubated the eggs and kept the 3. I know the black with gold lacings mom is a Black Australorp and has the same black/brown eyes as mama. Same iridescent coloring within the black. But must have a brown type of dad?

Wednesday is a pullet!

I agree. Wednesday has female-shaped feathers (no long skinny saddle feathers hanging down), and a female size comb & wattles (right for a pullet who is laying or will start soon, but too small for a male of that age), and a female color pattern (where the gold is, and where it is not).

Makes my heart extremely happy! I think she is so pretty! Love the golden necklace!

Yay! The tail has thrown me off but I hatch all my birds and pick the ones I think are girls in the beginning and so far I do have a crow and the smaller hens eggs are fertile but I just don’t know yet.

Love her! I think she is gorg with the gold necklace. Thank you!

Next chickens are the same age as Wednesday so around 5 months old. Their names are “Pumpkin” and “spice”. Unfortunately I don’t know what type of birds my brown chickens are however out of the group I hatched from the same egg came lighter chicks and I kept both of the darker chicks they were the only 2 darker ones from that hen. And unknown dad. I did hatch these from my hens. “Spice” has more black for identifying purposes.
