    7 week old Satin Silkies: Pullets or Roos?

    Second to the last one is male with that elevated, bulbous comb. I think the last one is, too. Satin Silkies have purple, irregular combs just like regular ones, but by 12 or 13 weeks, male specific feathering should be apparent in males. They may start showing gold leakage on the shoulders...

    Help sexing 5-6 week olds 🤞🤞

    They look a little young to be sure, but I do think you have a lot of boys. 1 Looks to be male, but rose combs can be tricky 2 Comb has some color, but it is not as bulbous as the first one, so could be a female. Time will tell. 3 female 4 male 5 male 6 female 7 female Marans, 1 female...

    🐔🐥 ❤️ 🐤🐣🐓 Can anyone help with my breed? Pretty please 🐔🐥 ❤️ 🐤🐣🐓

    If you had a light Brahma hen then I could see that and the olive egger rooster being the parents. But I would think a chick from a black Brahma would be darker. I mention this because she does look a lot like a Brahma. Her legs are heavily feathered and her plumage is a bit loose and fluffy...

    I think it has to be from the splash Marans rooster and CCL hen. Nothing else makes sense.

    Pullet or roosters?

    Male on right, female on left. The red shoulder patches on the male are what gives it away.

    Pullet or roosters?

    The one in the middle is a cockerel, and the other two are females.

    I'm confused

    California Gray. These have been around since the 1930s and are of mixed Leghorn and barred rock ancestry. As far as I know, there isn't a barred Leghorn variety. She looks too small to be a barred Holland, and they are quite rare, but maybe.

    Ameraucana?

    She's a silver Easter egger. They're not uncommon, though they are usually gold. A silver Ameraucana would have a salmon colored breast, not white.

    What breed is Moony?

    A lot depends on the flock from which the egg came from. If it was of mixed breeds, then she is likely a Marans mix. If it came from a place where only pure breeds were kept together, then yes, I'd say blue Marans is the answer.

    What is my roo?

    He's a barnyard mix, and they are just as good as any pure breed. I can't see any signs that indicate a pure breed was one of his parents. The parents were probably mixed breeds themselves.

    Bielefelder roo crossed with Lavender Orpington hen

    Crossing a barred male onto a solid colored female won't give sex links. All the chicks will be barred. Crossing a solid colored male onto a barred female will give sex links, due to the genetics of barring. A female can only pass her barring gene on to sons, not daughters. If the male is...

    roo or pullet? 3 chicken

    The Silkie mix and the Polish are males. It is too early to tell with the Easter eggers. 6 weeks is around the time they start showing signs.

    2 month old barnyard mix

    The combs and wattles say male, but I'm not 100% certain because their plumage coloring is even and not patchy. If they are cockerels, they will get male specific feathering at 12 to 13 weeks. Post back if it's not obvious by then.

    Is this a rooster silkie?

    I think the Silkie is a cockerel, going by comb. I've never raised Muscovy ducks, but I do know the males are much larger than the females.
