cockerel

what do you reckon?

Basically i have 3 cockerels, an Australorp, a mix of three breeds and a leghorn. The mixed breed one goes about doing his own thing the leghorn one is very shy never comes too much close to humans but the Australorp is so sweet. Whenever i come to open em he rams in the coop door trying to open...

Howdy BYC! So I've got this awesome Serama rooster named Blue who is absolutely gorgeous now but wasn't always so...when he molted his down and started getting his juvenile feathers, he had a few bald patches and was kinda scraggly looking. It's my understanding and experience, however, that...

We added 6 more chicks to our flock earlier in the spring and know most of their breeds and genders, but are still questioning a few. here’s a video of them today: Mostly I’m wondering about 3 of them: For the 1st chicken in the video, Priscilla - the buff chicken with the lovely hair, we...

Ive got a cutie pie, but im not sure if hes a Billie, or a Billy. Any ideas?

I got a black Silkie bantam unsexed chick from Ideal Poultry that unfortunately has a crossed beak, that just recently became apparent, though it appears to be milk, and could improve with proper trimming. I'm giving him/her away for free, as well as a blue laced red Wyandotte bantam unsexed...

I have some 10 week old factory sexed female buff Orpingtons I'm raising and selling and one of them has very red wattles and comb. The other accidental cockerels I have had were aggressive and ran over and pecked me. This bird isn't aggressive at all, so I'm stumped. I'll attach a pic of a...

On April 11 of 2021, 3 baby chicks finally hatched from their incubator. Unfortunately 1 ended up disappearing outside, however I have 2 left that I would like to know the sex of. I will attach photos for reference. Any help would be appreciated!:wee This is chick 1. It is a Golden Laced...

Hello, Unfortunately, we have ended up with too many roosters and need to rehome some before they start fighting. Eggy (short for Eggplant) is a 13 week old silkie/black star mix. He's very sweet and pretty and would be a great protector. Please let me know if you or someone you know is looking...

I’ve posted here a few times asking about my EE chicks. I’m still not convinced they are both girls 😆 They are 11 weeks old. I’ve noticed some rust color coming through on this ones neck and her pea comb looks more red and like it has more than one row. It’s definitely bigger than her sisters...

Free Rooster (technically cockerel) Norman Oklahoma does not allow roosters within city limits so our guy needs a new home. His dad was a White Polish Crested and his mom was a Black Star hybrid. He hatched on March 18, 2021 and has been very healthy and happy so far. We christened him Lucy...

I go back and forth, cockerel or pullet? 4.5 weeks, maybe still too young? But thinking I see male coloring in the hackles, totally open to being wrong here!

Hello! I lost the gender lottery big time (only 2/10 pullets) - and can't keep 10 roos for 5 hens. All are UNVACCINATED from Alchemist Farm in California. Alchemist is the gold standard for free range, sustainable, organic, chicken-centered breeding chickens. Anyway the 2 Black Copper Marans...

Hey all, we just purchased 3 older chicks to our flock. I believe they are all around the 4-5 week mark. We purchased the red/brown one with patterned feathers hoping that he is a cockerel, and the black and buff ones might be pullets — though the slight red waddles on that black one have me...

Trying to figure out the sex of my two chickens. Almost 9 weeks old. Let me know your thoughts!

I have 3 roos for sale. One is a golden sexlink (we're pretty sure) no idea what the other 2 are. They were sent as extras in a hatchery shipment and we just can't keep them all! I didn't want to slaughter them so I thought I would list them here! They will be 8 weeks old on May 23rd. $15 each...

Hi All, About 8 weeks ago I brought home 6 chicks - all (supposedly) pullets. I have 4 sex-linked (2 ISA Browns + 2 Black Stars) and 2 Buff Orpingtons. As they've grown, it's clear that at least one of the BOs is actually a Cockerel. He's started crowing so yea, I certainly have at least one...

Hi! I’m feeling sadly almost certain my 2.5 month old blue Andalusian is a male (which I can’t have where I live). :( But before I try to find her/him another home, I wanted to get some expert input! She/he gave 4 weak little crows today, and I think I’m seeing the start of long, pointed saddle...
