    What gender is my sweet 3 month old chick?

    It's a pullet, in my opinion.

    Silkie gender

    It can happen real fast, can't it?

    Polish update still unsure

    It is 100% a cockerel. Those slim, pointy feathers coming in at the back of the crest are male specific feathering.

    Jersey gigant chick, boy or girl?

    Me either, but this is a very slow developing breed, so I would give it more time.

    What breed and gender is this chicken

    Looks like a buff laced Polish mix to me. It is a pullet.

    Need help identifying pullets!

    Olive eggers can look like anything. The one on the right looks more like a black sex link, and the one on the left might be an olive egger. I guess you'll know when they lay.

    Silkie gender

    Both look like males to me. Odd that they haven't crowed, though. I guess watch for eggs and continue to listen for crowing.

    Checking genders and breeds

    At 16 weeks, cockerels would show male specific feathering, and there is none. Lavender Orpingtons can be variable in color as chicks. I can't think what else they'd be because there aren't any other lavender varieties on Hoover's website.

    Checking genders and breeds

    All are pullets. The lavenders are Orpingtons, you are correct about the Prairie Bluebell egger, and I think the red one is a Calico Princess or similar hatchery hybrid. *I believe the red one is a Hampbar after looking at Hoover Hatchery's website.

    All white chick!? Breed?

    It's too young to say much at this point. 6 weeks is a good time to start with gender identification. Watch for color and size in the comb.

    Booted bantam or something else?

    It's a hatchery quality millie fleur D'Uccle. They vary in depth of color and sometimes they are missing the beard.

    All white chick!? Breed?

    Looks like an Americana to me, too. It has the fluffy cheeks.

    Barnyard Mix -- Help Sexing Please!!

    I agree with Pigeony. Wing sexing only works for hybrids specifically bred for that trait, like Amberlinks. It's not going to work here. It's really all about the combs and wattles when they are young, both the color and size.

    Barnyard Mix -- Help Sexing Please!!

    Yes, we are happy to help. Keep in mind that it is rarely possible to determine gender until the chicks are around 6 weeks old.

    Jersey Giant mix?

    He is a mix. Probably one of the hatchery hybrids like 'Rainbows' formerly sold as 'Dixie Rainbows.'
