gender

Hello All, I have some EEs in the brooder. 3 weeks old. This one has a different feather pattern than the other 2 girls. Could this pattern indicate a cockerel? The first pic is the one in question. The second is the pullet.Egger, Feather,

Hi. Does this look like a girl? Seems a bit larger than the others and sometimes I see the tail feathers pointing a bit downward…although my girls do that sometimes too. ‘She’ is about 7 weeks old now. Thank you!

Wanted to know what you guys thought of one of the new editions, Chips! I've asked when she hit 4 weeks and 5 weeks, pretty sure she's a pullet still but I also wanted to ask what coloration she could be and is she considered a short legged japenese bantam? I really can't tell lol Currently...

So I had purchased two sex links which are supposed to be sexed at birth with a clear marking on its head which would determine the sex. Both of them did not have white dots so I was hopeful for two girls but now I am wondering if I have a roo. He or she is 5 weeks old currently. Let me know...

Quick backstory. We got 2 new chicks last week and unfortunately we lost one, when my family went back to buy another (while I was in class) the farmer apparently "threw in an extra one for free". Already knew it'd likely be a rooster when I heard that, but I also have no idea what the breed is...

This is my two month old Soap Opera Chicken Tender Nike. We have no idea who mommy is out of two pullets and we think daddy is our Barred Rock rooster Elvis, but it could also be my EE mix or Ayam Cemani Mix. She also had a bit of heck for a life, as she recently impaled themselves in their...

Hello! So I’m getting pretty nervous! I went to my local feed store and bought 2 female black swedish ducklings about 3 weeks ago, and today I accidentally put them in a bath that was alittle to warm, and they started quacking in their adults voices! But one was a quack and one was very raspy…...

I am thinking this 6 week old Ameraucana is a rooster but would love a second opinion. Thanks for any help.

Noticed the curly tail on my supposed pullet this afternoon. (S)he is my favorite of my newest and I’m so sad because if she’s a he, he’s gotta go😭 New to Olive Eggers, so hoping there’s a chance it’s a she!

Today I had 1 duckling hatch, the other duck eggs didn’t hatch. I’m not sure what breed it is…. Any ideas? Magpie or Ancona? Would love to know if it’s a male or female but I know it’s kind of early to tell. Thanks

I have a 7 month old serama, Dark Chocolate Mocha, that I hatched. For the first 4 months I was certain it was a hen. Then I noticed a growth spurt. The tail feathers grew longer and the comb little bit bigger and taller. Though I noticed that Dark Chocolate Mocha doesn't crow or act like a...

I have an ameraucana that im not sure on, the breeder says female but im having my doubts. Others on here have said male so im torn in the middle. It does have a reddish wound near the beak due to being pecked through the wire mesh.

Hi - newbie to Barred Rocks. I *THINK* I have two Barred Rocks (they came as a "rainbow pullets" variety from a local farm store - never again!) I've looked at so many pics and read so many things about how to tell the difference in gender and I feel like mine have pullet feather...

These are 5 week old barnyard mix. Interested in sex and breed. Curious if I have some roosters in the group. Because they are mixes I’m getting so confused reading stuff online. I’ll take your best guess. I’m keeping them all anyway and we shall see who crows ina couple weeks. It’s not a huge...

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to start off by saying, long time no see! If anybody is curious as to why I haven't been on BYC for a while/ where my sister has gone, shoot me a DM! Anyway, yesterday we got chicks from Tractor Supply. We have one Americano, and she's mine! I'm actually not sure what...

4 chicks - almost 6 weeks old - Barnyard Mixes 1st one 2nd one 3rd One 4th One

I have heard lavender orpington develop more slowly… but are these boys or girls? One has a more yellow face, the other is more lavender. They are four weeks old and not larger than our welsummer chicks we got a day before we got them.

Hi all, I know 4 weeks old is pretty young to be sexing but I have one chick who has grown a ridiculously large comb. This particular chick came from a huge egg, was a huge chick from the get-go, and has grown much faster than the others. One other chick I suspected of being a rooster because it...

Hi, i have two ameraucana chicks, im thinking cockeral but im wondering if anybody else had similar looking ones that turned out female. Black one charges at my gfs hand and look how pink he is 😭😭
