    Golden Laced Wyandotte

    Hi BYC friends! I'm hoping to get a few extra sets of eyes 👀 to help me figure out if my approximately 6-week-old Golden Wyandotte named Frog is a pullet or a cockerel. I've attached 3 pictures to my post: 1) The first picture with 3 of my chickens, the one circled in blue is Frog compared to...

    Silver Laced Wyandottes - Break my heart!

    I can absolutely get better pics tomorrow, but I’ve got 4 SLWs from a straight run and based on patterning being messy on three I’m thinking maybe 3 are boys? 🤔 They’re 8 and a half weeks old! I know the combs aren’t totally right on all either: they were from TSC! SLW 1: SLW 2: SLW 3...

    Sexing Silkies

    Hi all, we have one lonely silkie and I’m having a hard time sexing them. They’re about 8 weeks old now. I know the photos aren’t the best, but I’m leaning towards female. Any guesses? Thanks!

    Need help sexing my 5 month old silkie?

    This is my first time raising silkie and y’all were not kidding when you said sexing is tough 🤣 Wondering if I could get any insight for my young black silkie! I’m kind of torn because I think he means more into rooster lol No crowing, and no comb yet tho and I feel like when looking at...

    Hen or roo? Our favorite chick.

    This is Bam Bam. BB was hatched a week before Easter and is just a little bantam mix. BB is staying no matter what gender. We are just curious as first time chicken owners. So hen or roo? Thank you!

    dark faverolle pullet or a dude?

    this baby came from my first ever batch of hatched chicks, out of the smallest pink egg i was sent. i know she is half salmon faverolle, but the male sire could be anything from black/white cochin to black copper maran. she is very faverolle-heavy though, her momma did the heavy lifting...

    What gender are my chickens.

    I bought straight run polish and Houdan chickens and I’m pretty sure they are all girls besides my golden laced polish.? Am I correct… He at the bottom of the totem pole(hence his missing feathers) I also think my ameraucana might be a Male and not a hen. Mottled houdan-10 weeks White crested...

    Sexing: Boy or Girl?

    Hi everyone I am new to raising pheasants. So far they have been a funny, interesting group. I’m determining whether I have all boys or 2 boys and 1 girl. They’re almost 2 months old, June 10 will make 2 months. Pictures are attached below. Thanks!

    Sexing 3-- Easter Egger, Splash Wyandotte, and Lavender Orpington

    Hiya! This year we got 5 chickens from our local hatchery, vent sexed as female. Of the first two, one ended up a roo 😅 Well, we have 3 more who are still too young to say definitively, but I'd love some opinions if you've got them! The first is 6 weeks old, an Easter Egger ("Cornfritter")...

    The good ole “help me figure out what gender my silkies are” post

    I have two silkies. One black and one white. I originally swore the black was a male based off of the stance it had always had but I’m not so sure. This white one is much smaller but the hair is different. It also has a much deeper cluck lol. My poor black one has pretty bad cross beak, but has...

    I am unsure about these 2 chickens. Roosters, or just flashy females?

    While I am positive the rest of my flock is primarily hens, I am confused as to these two. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. :3

    Help identifying breed and sex!

    Hello, I unexpectedly acquired some chicks. I believe they are at least 4 weeks old. I plan to ask the person who gave them to my mom the same question, I figured to ask here as well! I heard about wing sexing but couldn't really figure it out. If I could get input as to what breed they are and...

    Gender

    I'm posting again lol for help with my light brahmas. They look so much different. I'm wanting a rooster, hopefully the one ine the first picture is one. It still has a fluffy tail, no actual tail feathers yet. The other one has tail feathers. They're around 8 weeks old

    Gender?

    I have 3 7 week old chickens I need help sexing. I'm pretty sure the brown one is female. The two light brahmas im unsure of. The middle chicken looks different than their sibling. Comb is different and wattles are more red. I know it's still early just wanna see if anyone has any opinions.

    any guesses on sex? silkie experts.

    got 2 silkie chicks, both 8 weeks old. im sure one is a rooster because of the massive wattles he started growing last week, but not so sure about the other. shes the bottom of the pecking order, really calm and friendly and has pretty much no wattle growth. though i know it can be hard to sex...

    Barred Rock

    Pullet or Roo? I picked this little "pullet" up 3 days ago. I am having such a difficult time deciding pullet or roo. What do you guys think?? I'm assuming 3-4days old. I wanted another female BR because I love my original one, so I got another "pullet" and turned to be a male. Hoping I'm not...

    “Tricks” for early sexing?

    Hey friends! I’ve begun my hatching for the year, and I wanted to try something just for fun! What are your favorite/silliest/most interesting “tricks” for early sexing of chicks? I don’t mean anything tried and true, and I don’t mean once the obvious signs are there, like saddle feathers and...
