Hello! This baby is 11 weeks old as of today! Barn yard mix from a pen of: amerucana, olive egger, black cooper maran, leg bar roosters & hens. I don’t recall what color egg it hatched from. Does not have the hairy leg gene. Looking for your thoughts on whether it’s a hen or roo!
Hi everyone, we posted here about a month ago asking about sexes of our chickens that were labeled as production reds from TSC. They're about 1.5-2 months old now and would like your opinions again.
One is obviously a starlight green egger (below), which we believe is a pullet. Can anyone help...
Hey everybody, was wondering if these are both cockerels, I’m 99% sure the first one pictured is but I was leaning towards pullet on the second one. There both EE/golden comets that my hen hatched. There almost 11 weeks old today.
Can anyone possibly tell me if this sweet little 10 week old Polish chicken (Athena) is a hen or rooster? The one photo with the other polish chicken - she is obviously a hen, but what about Athena? She was named after the goddess of the hunt because she is very alpha and smart from the...
Hi I’ve got two rir that are now nearly 10 weeks old!
At first they both looked like pullets but now one has a bigger comb/red face than the other?
I’ve attached pictures of both to see if a can help? Starting to think 1 is a roo as it seems to attack the others too
I had 2 pullets now down to this one. The other of same age (it’s roughly 10.5-11 weeks) had more feathering around the face and neck. Wondering if this is a he or a she. It acts like a corralling dominance asserting roo 😅 some photos from today (ones with more feathers) some from a couple days ago
Hi Everyone I’m new to BYC and also to silkies. I bought these 4 chooks from a backyard breeder and I’m not sure if I have boys or girls, they are 9weeks old in these pics. I’d love some guidance as I can’t keep boys in my state and I don’t want my kids to get too attached to them if I have to...
Hi all!
First time urban chicken owner here. I am not allowed to keep roosters so if anyone has any thoughts on whether my chickies are roos or pullets I would be so grateful! I know silkies are notoriously tricky to sex, but just getting an idea will be super helpful. :)
I raised them since...
Hi everyone! I’m a relatively new chicken dude who has had a terrible “rooster rate” (67%!) from a local farm store here in Sonoma County. As you guys know, roosters are tough to find homes for. Anyway, after a few weeks, we began to notice two of the three chicks we bought began exhibiting...
Hi guys! This was once Louise then believed to be Louis but now I’m not so sure again 🤷🏼♀️
Louis was from TSC , mislabeled as an Amerucana. So I’m not positive on the breed either. He is red with black feathers in his wings and tail. About 10 weeks old and has not yet started to crow

Hi! So I recently got a few chickens...problem is we are not allowed to have roosters. I got 4 from a friend who simply could not keep them and then 4 from a local "chicken guy"
Our original 4 from "chicken guy" he was pretty confident picking all the hennies. However my friend got straight run...
I got nine baby chicks. All supposedly sexed female. New to raising chickens and loving it so far. I got 3 RI reds on 4/25 so Ive had them for almost 8 weeks and one seems to be a cockerel....help! All three of them are in this picture. All the same age from the same hatchery and picked up on...
Hey guys! So my flock just turned 10 weeks old. So far, I got 7 out of 8 of my birds being pullets. This one is throwing me off, though. I have no experience with this breed at all, so any help would be great.
First timers with 4 chicks: 55 Swedish x3 and a partridge Brahma x1. I never realized how relaxing it is to just to watch them. The 55s are supposed to be 10 weeks and Brahma 8 weeks. I got them from a local farm 5 weeks ago they’re bigger fast as you can see:initially excited for egg laying...
I swore i thought i hear her try to crow today and now I’m paranoid. Probably somewhere 10-12 weeks old do you guys see any ROO characteristics? Help lol
Hello! I have a young Sultan (around 10-11 weeks) named Eggroll who I’ve been having a lot of trouble sexing.
I thought she was a female, but based on the growth of her comb and the shape of her crest, I’ve been Second-guessing myself... I was also making cockadoodle-doo sounds yesterday to try...
10 week old showgirl/ frizzle .... Initially thought it was possibly a hen but now not sure. When the young rooster crows we have heard another in the pen croaking like they are starting to crow, and when he's going off, she/he straightens out and stands tall? Any ideas what I've got here?? Was...
