Our Mystic Onyx, Gracie, has been exhibiting some dominating behaviors (chest bumping and flailing out her head and neck feathers), at another hen. From her feather coloration, I’m suspecting she may be a cockerel. Any ideas if she’s actually a Cash or Elvis? She was the most curious chick from...
Hi! This is my first time owing chickens I got them sexed from the fantastic and amazing Long Island Poultry Farm. I estimate 14 weeks old maybe? “She” is an Olive Egger. I noticed her behavior is more “up right” frequently ruffling neck feathers and jumping face on at other chicks, chasing the...
This is Zee. I'm thinking Zee is a cockrell, but I really don't know. She/He is differnt looking in feathering then my other two and they have the rose combs and this one does not. The tail feathers are higher. So I would like you other chicken lovers out there to give me your opinions. Thank...
Hi everyone! I have two 7 week old Blue Isbars. I'm hoping someone will be able to tell if they are pullets or cockerels. Their hatch date was 4/21. Their names are on each photo. Let me know what you think. Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️ ☺️
Hi everyone, I just joined and from reading other threads, I think I know the answer but I want to be sure.
So I've raised Henrietta since a chick and we always though she was a hen. We have recently introduced new mature hens and now she is mounting them, chasing them and making this gawd...
Hi chicken friends. I have 4 chicks total- 2 EEs and 2 Isa Browns. I’m unsure of the sex of the ees. I basically adopted them from someone who did not know how to raise chicks. Those combs are making me nervous. Any input would be appreciated greatly!
The last photo, the EE is in the back.
Experts, what do you think? Hen or roo? I have some other roo ee's who have pronounced hackle and saddle feathers than Parsnip here, but Parsnip is larger than the hens.
Thanks in advance,
Allyson
I have two Rhode Island reds that are both turning 7 weeks tommrow and I think one of them may be a Cockrell but I’m not sure as this is my first time raising chicks. Pics 1-2 is the one I think has a slight chance. I have 5 others the same age and that one just acts different and is sounding...
I just bought these BLRW and Splash Wyandottes. Hatched early March, so they’re about 6 weeks old. I know, I know, they’re still young but any guesses!?! They’re supposed to be pullets bc they were ordered from a hatchery and sexed but we know that’s not 100% accurate.
Please tell me they...
I have had chickens only @ 5 months.
I was hoping ya'll could help me see if I have Hens or Roos?
Would love any help. @ 5 months none have wattles yet! Praying for Hens!

Hi All!
I picked these two up yesterday. they are unsexed but the lady told me she was almost certain they are pullets not roosters. maybe she just wanted to get rid of them and knew i was a sucker 😉
I have never had a frizzle bantam before but she runs like a pyscho super fast and screams...
I bought chocolate Orpington eggs to hatch. 3 of the eggs did hatch and this is what came out. I believe I have 1x chocolate rooster, 1x chocolate hen and 1 splash? Hen seems to light shades of brown. Also they are smaller than I expected them to be (5 months in this photo).
I’m super stressed , this one has crowed around 83o in the morning I have no idea how old or if it’s a hen or rooster, and I don’t like the idea I have to give pearl up. I live in the city where you can’t have roosters. Any ideas of age or hen or rooster? Thanks in advance!
So I have a frizzled cochin chick about 4 months old. I dont know if its a hen or roo yet (if you can tell by the picture please let me know) but I was wondering how the frizzle gene works. If its a hen will she pass the gene down to her chicks? What about if its a roo? I do know that you can't...
I bought these two chicks as “Cuckoo Marans” from TSC. 🧐
I’m guessing Sapphire Gems or something similar? Also, the combs are still super duper small but are those red waffles coming in strong trying to tell me something? Nearly 6 weeks old.
Any guesses for gender and breed?
Hello Everyone!,
New to this forum but I have 4 already laying hens for a little over a year now and just recently got 4 more "hens" but I am questioning my Bluebell Prairie that is about 6-7weeks now. Cleo is very friendly and curious, loves to be held or roost on your hand, and gets along...
I got this chicken from a swap advertised as a hen. It was born in early December. So far I haven’t heard any crowing, but her tail feathers are looking very full. I also think I see some tiny saddle feathers coming in (maybe like an inch long?). I was also told after the fact that barred rock...
First time chicken owner. My chickens are 15 weeks old now. I’m pretty positive it’s a hen, however, this one has been fighting since I put it outside. There’s no comb development yet and no crowing. All my silkie Roos have combs and have crowed already. Thoughts?? Is she just trying to...
