Pullet or Rooster? This is my first Blue Laced Red Wyandotte that I have ever had. Do the Wyandottes tend to feather slowly in both pullets and cockerels? This one is 4 weeks old and does not have very many feathers or much of a comb or waddle. If anyone has a photo that I can compare mine to...
Hello everyone! I'm new to this site and relatively new to chickens too. We got 6 chicks about 2 months ago and 5 were sexed pullets and the RIR were unsexed so we decided to take the gamble. They're about 8 weeks old now and we think we have a little boy. What do ya'll think?
Anyone else think this is a roo? That white one is an 8-9 week old Pavlovskaya from the last flock swap. My fingers are crossed it’s a hen, but she’s pretty feisty.
13 weeks old, from a farm in PHX, no crowing yet, Black Marans of Olive Egger (all black slight copper on neck and 2 white spots rear), and my mystery fella (I think has Marans, feather feet but puffy cheeks) Amaracana. No pointy neck feathers on the grey one, but acts like a roo, bossy and...
i was convinced my 4 week old was a french black copper maran hen but i am seeing color on her wings and not just her neck and chest. is she a french black? and a hen?
(i can provide more pictures if needed)
I'm new to keeping chickens and this summer I got my first chicks. Our standard chicks are 6 weeks old and our Serama chicks are 4 weeks and 5 days old. There are a few chicks that I'm questioning their gender. I will update this thread with pictures as they grow. Here are the chicks in...
The first chick was supposed to be a guaranteed hen from a small farm down the road and either Ameraucana, Araucana, or EE. They mix all of their blue egg layers together. The cape is what is making me wonder if it is a roo, as well as it’s very bossy personality. Any breed and/or gender...
I bought these 2 around 3 weeks ago at around 2 1/2 months old or so. The white one is a white ameracauna and was sold to me as a female but I am having doubts that she is actually a she so what do y’all think? Second question, this black pullet was sold to me as a black ameracauna and I’m sure...
Okay, a little back story here. Last year I ordered sexed chicks from a hatchery. The hatchery I ordered from include a “mystery chick” with each order and I ended up with a white crested black polish roo. Being the only chick with crest feathers he’s been severely bullied and spend most of his...
I am so confused about these two babies. They are 8.5 weeks old. Ive had people tell me pullets before, but now some are saying they both look like cockerels. What do you all think?
Hello! I'm new to owning backyard chickens and have read a ton on BYC recently (thank you to everyone for posting - really beneficial!!). I have 6 chicks from 4-6 weeks old and am pretty certain most are hens but there is 1 that I'm not too sure of - my black cochin (Ms. Frizzle). The farm I got...
I am attaching pictures of my silkie who is about 14 weeks old. I am taking my polish cockerel to be re-homed today because we can’t have roosters and we are now suspecting our silkie might also be a boy. Wondering if anyone can help me determine that with these pictures. My daughter heard a...
I have a 3rd gen x-breed pullet with A rooster leg and a hen leg. The jumbo whiter rooster leg is even larger than the yellow hen leg.
Hatched on New Years Day, and healthy as can be, but has me wondering what the eggs may look like.
What color eggs do you think my Frankenstein Chicken will...
4 weeks + 2 days today... comb is definitely getting reddish and there are some teeny reddish waddles (i thought one was a scratch at first) that I didn’t get a picture of.
This beauty, my bantam mille fleur d’uccle, is 7 weeks old today. I had a rooster (not anymore) and he was VERY noticeable. Red comb by 3 weeks. This one has always had a fairly visible comb, But it’s always stayed pale in color. PULLET OR COCKEREL?! Thank you!
i posted a week or so ago, but chicks have grown quite a bit. i have three 4wk old mille fleur d’uccles and 6.5wk old bantam Mottled Cochins. Can’t seem to figure out sex on some of them. one of d’uccles (on left) is definitely a roo, and one of cochins (on left) is probably a roo too. what...
I have some 6 week olds that are just now getting close to being able to sex, i think. (minus the silkies, probably) Let me know if you see anything obvious that points to pullet or cockerel. i'm still trying to learn. Thanks!
1. Bantam Buff Brahma 2. Silver Laced Polish 3. White Silkie...
