    Is this a cockerel?

    My husband brought home this chick on the first of the month so about 4 weeks ago. My question is it a cockerel? He didn’t ask if they were sexed or straight run bantams. I’ve only had pullets. So if it is a cockerel is there anything different I have to do?

    Odd chick behavior???

    So... This might sound silly, but is it known for month old chicks- cockrels and pullets to start showing sexed behavior? My chicks are becoming nice and tame, which is great for me. I'm not 100% yet who's a roo or hen, but I have a good guess so far. Today, I scooped up one of my potential...

    Help me determine sex of my speckled Sussex

    Hi all- worried my sexed speckled Sussex might actually be a cockrel. What do y'all think? It's comb isn't particularly big and not red yet, but the hackle and tail feathers have me concerned. It also holds itself and walks more straight up than my other pullets and hens. Am I just being...
