gender

Hello everyone! Hope your day is going good. This is my first time raising chickens. And I need some help in identifying one of my Easter Eggers. Would anyone be able to take a look at my majestically bearded chicken and tell me what gender they think he/she is? I live in the city so I can't...

First time chicken owner here! I got 3 Barred Rock pullets from Tractor Supply. I got them 3 weeks ago. Based off the countless hours I’ve researched, I’m 100% sure the darkest one is a pullet, she’s smaller and very sweet with a dark leg wash. Her tail feathers came in first and she has the...

Hi! I have a flock of 6 chickens and can only keep 5 because of our town ordinance. I also can’t keep a rooster. I have an aunt who keeps chickens that will take the extra whether it’s a hen or rooster. I’ve been watching and waiting to see if one would emerge as the clear rooster, but so far...

Hi ya’ll!! there’s not too much out there on Lavender EE’s! I was sold this baby as a sexed female from a reputable hatchery, and am not sure if I should be worried at this comb…she’s just a hair over 4 weeks old. What do you think? Noodle <3 I’d be heartbroken to have to part with her as...

Hello there! Brand new to BYC and brand new (IMPATIENT) chicken mama. I am not allowed to have roos where I am located, so I want to figure them out ASAP so they can go to a lovely, new coop / family! :p I have 6 chicks I got from TSC from pullet bins on March 10th, but you know how reliable...

Hey Everyone! I've been researching sexing Black Australorps and I'm at all loss here, so I'm hoping someone might have experience with this breed and help me out :) We added to our flock this year and I was so excited to find Black Australorps at our local feed store. They were supposed to be...

Hey there! I have a 6 week old Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chick. First time raising this breed. Does it look like a cockerel or pullet? It stands upright a lot and herds other chicks. Its neck feathers are still coming in. Any chance it could be a female?

Hello! I have a few 10 1/2 week old chicks and I’d like to know what I’ve got. I have one serama, who I believe is a little lady. One bantam Cochin. My other girl Cochins got red very early on, so I’m hoping this is the case. And a mystery chicken ( any idea what it is?)

This is a jersey giant. I'm guessing roo, as I see saddle feathers and his tail feathers are much bigger and fuller than his siblings. I'll attach a pic of one of his siblings suspected to be a hen (bottom pic) also wanted to know what age i can put them outside? I was guessing 10 weeks to be sure

Please tell me I still have a chance for atleast one of these marans to be a pullet! Almost 5 weeks old. First pic is of our for-sure cockerel who was hatched the same time as the others around 3/25.

This Buff Orpington came from TSC at the same time as the Wellbars and the Lavender and the other Buff. It grew a comb a week or two ago. We have 2 separate flocks at the moment. There are a group of hens living outside and a mixed group of sort of "teens", ducks, and chicks living together...

I'm thinking a male but the restaurant where he/she was dumped thinks female. Any ideas? They're a beautiful chicken!

Butter and Scotch are approximately six weeks old. I know it's probably too soon to tell but just curious your thoughts on pullet or roo for the heck of it. I did go ahead and order gender testing for them. The one that has me thrown off is the single comb. Pretty sure the other is a boy. I also...

Weird question that probably is really dumb - I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself. It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...

I was told she was pullet (99% chance, anyway), but she started crowing and doing the "shuffle dance" to anything not bolted to the ground😅 Bagel is 6 months old

When I first bought them, the lady present said Bantams. Then I was doubting so I called the store and the lady that owns the place told me that they were jersey giants and gold stars. I've done a lot of research on gold stars and hardly anything pops up, it's genuinely annoying lol so idk if...

This is mostly just for fun. 😉 They are only 5 1/2 weeks and 3 1/2 weeks The first two pics are of the 5 week olds. One is a crossbeak and is probly why she is smaller. The 3rd pic is the 3 week old which I'm sure will be super hard to guess what it will be. I'm gonna be doing gender testing so...

so I bought these chicks three Saturdays ago. I know my local tractor supply receive them on that Thursday so they’re like three weeks and two days old the two blackish ones are supposedly blue Australorps, but they look to me how my plymouth barred rock looked, so now I’m confused did they mess...

I came across 2 chicks about 2 weeks ago and I am wondering what breed and gender these 2 adolescent chickens are?

Got two Delawares a few weeks ago, just curious if anyone has thoughts on this one’s gender. I don’t know exactly how old they are, I’m guessing they were about a week old when I brought them home which would put them around four weeks now. I only put pictures of one because the other won’t pose...
