This is Barbara. We purchased her as a pullet when she was 3 weeks old. We started to have our doubts a couple weeks ago, and are wondering if she may be a rooster. Hoping some of
you more experienced chicken keepers can share your opinions.
Hello! I have my first batch of babies from a broody hen. It was an exciting experience. I have a feeling I have one Roo... but could there be more? These babies are about 5 weeks. They are a cross of olive egger and black Maran Thanks for your help! 😊
I have two questions. I thought I had purchased a speckled Sussex from anoka Ramsey farm and garden in MN. I believe it is around 6 weeks old.
1. Are there varieties of speckled sussex? I thought there’d be some blue and white flecks in its feathers. Is there still time for that to grow in? Or...
This chick is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering about the feathers along the neck. Does that determine if it’s a rooster? Or do hens sometimes have pointed feathers there? Very sweet bird. No other male behavior or crowing (yet?)

Think I have 2 roos but my lavendar one has pretty much no waddles but a red comb. My Brahma I’m pretty certain is a roo unfortunately. Let me know what you think!! :)
Hi! New member and new chicken owner. My 2 Australorps will be 7 weeks tomorrow. We purchased them both from a local farm. Lucy (or Lou) has the beginnings of a red comb and a red waddle. I read that cockerels grow theirs early. For comparison, our other Australorp Lily, who is the same age, has...
My family and I are new to chickens and we were told that our Rhode Island Red was a hen, but we’re not so certain now. She/he is approximately 14 weeks old and hasn’t crowed or anything, but is bigger than our other hens and has a much larger comb/wattles. If you have a guess, we’d love to hear it!
We are first time Chicken owners and I wanted someone’s opinion! I know the first picture is a rooster and hens but we have 3 more that I’m not sure about! They are smaller in size and their combs are a lot smaller than our rooster and a different color. Hen or Roo?
Hi! I’m staring to get worried that one of my girls is a roo :( I’d keep a rooster anyway, but I was really hoping to have all girls. I got them from My Pet Chicken (Snowy Easter Eggers). One of my girls (or maybe boy I guess) is a bit bigger than the others (funny because she was the smallest...
Hello! We started a little flock of six birds. Three are cream legbar, one is serama bantam, and two are lavender orpington. They have brought so much joy and fascination so far! Thinking we can move outside soon once they have some more adult feathers for the youngest ones. They are about 5...
I have 2 Lavender Sussex Chickens, one is 19 Weeks Old and one is 16 weeks old. I believe the older one is a rooster, the wattles are red but the comb is still a pinkish colour, the younger chicken still has pinkish wattles and comb. Please see images below.

Is this going...
I have one 19 Week old Barred Rock, which I think is Rooster as it has arching tail feathers, but still has small comb, shouldn't roos at this age have a larger comb? Please see images.
I also have two 16 week old Barred Rocks, to which I have no clue whether they are male or female, I have...
I have 7 Buff Orpingtons that are 17 week old, most of them have pinkish small combs except this one. Would someone please tell me if this a pullet or roo? Thank you so much!
