hen or roo?

  1. Mandacrandypants

    Getting any roo vibes from this flock?

    All are supposed to be pullets, and a few are a day or two older than the others. I’m suspicious of a couple of the lavender orpingtons so I’m wondering what others think. Orpingtons are about 7 weeks, Diamond Duchesses are about 6 weeks. Purchased at Family Farm & Home. All very sweet and sociable.

    Joining the Hen or Roo game

    Here is my new flock! I have 5 Lavender Orpingtons (5 weeks old) and 3 Diamond Duchesses (4 weeks old - chicken math… I needed more), and I’m brand new to raising chickens. We’ve been talking about doing this for years, and now that my son is almost 3, we thought this would be a fun way to start...

    Hen or Roo? Oh and HI!!!

    Hi. We recently were blessed with 2 buff orpington chicks. We have a few other chicks and 2 laying hens already. These particular buffs have me wondering are they hen or rooster? They are around 4 to 5 weeks old from what we were told. I know you all see this exact post so many times...

    Is my Welsummer hen actually a rooster?!

    Hi everyone. My 22 week old Welsummer is supposed to be a hen, I think it's a hen, but now I'm not so sure. It's tail feathers are hen-ish but it has big wattles, a big comb, and a pretty deep voice. What do you think? (I'll post tail pictures soon.) Note: My roosters the same age are really...

    Unsexed Silver laced barnevelders roughly 1 month

    I have 4 silver barnevelders I don’t know if they are male or female. Two have more solid black feathers and two have more of the black and white female like feather patterns but one of them has more roo like appearance? They all have different sized tails, waddles, and combs.

    Black silkie cross - hen or roo?

    Never had a silkie before, and am stumped! Probably 18-20 weeks ish. Sorry full-body pic isn't great - she won't stand still for a good photo so I had to grab her

    20 weeks - hen or roo?

    This is my 20-week-old brown leghorn. (Not 100% sure of the breed though.) I suspect roo, as she's not laying, is leggier than my two older backyard crosses who are confirmed hens (second pic shows them together). Saddle feathers and green tail as well make me think roo. What's throwing me off...

    21 Week Old Chickens | Unknown Mix | Hen or Roo?

    I have a bunch of Chickens that are a mystery mixed breed. Some cross between Barred Rock and something else. Five Different Chickens. I think most of hens, however, a few are attempting to fight my dominate Rooster and I've never seen hens do that. None of the 21 week old ones are laying yet...

    Are we ladies?

    Hello, bought all as pullets. I am suspicion of a few though. A few of them have stand offs but I haven’t seen anyone actually be mean, we’ve heard zero crowing and only a buff makes different noises than the rest of them but she sounds like a momma chicken. I’m also new, I did do research on...

    Is my 14mo Blue Orpington rooster? Or just a crowing hen?

    Its name is Sophia, has never crowed or shown any rooster behavior before today. Has been bottom of the pecking order since they were young.

    Hen or roo

    I just picked these two up yesterday(Buff orp and Blue Plymouth),it was fairly late and getting dark so I didn't get a great look at them. I went to let them out into the run this morning and noticed the buff orpington seems to have a bigger comb than my confirmed pullets (i was told they are...

    Golden Laced Polish, hen or roo?

    Golden laced Polish from feed store, labeled as pullets. 6 weeks old. Is Cheeto a girl or boy? Hair might say boy. Comb and waddle both have a scratch on them, but what do we think besides the scratches? The air is very dry here, which may be contributing to scratches and retained sheathes...

    Having problems sexing

    So I’m having problems sexing my silkies, I have no idea how old they are as I rescued them both, I know 1 of them is for sure a cockerel as it started crowing a few days ago but I’m seeing traits of crows in both, none are laying yet and I didn’t see who was crowing as they stopped when I...

    Is Clever a hen or roo?

    Hen or roo? I’m in denial she might be a he. These are all about 10 weeks and wondering about the Barnevelder on the far right. S/he had a loud scratchy chuckle this morning scared us all 🤣

    Delawares and mystery buffs

    Hi! I have four babies that I want to play hen or roo with :) Two Delawares, at LEAST 9 weeks old but I don’t know for sure how much older than that they might be. I think they were at least a week old when I got those two. The two buffs are 8 weeks old. So idk what the buffs are, they were...

    Wyandotte - Pullet or cockerel?

    Novice chicken owner here! I bought a straight run of 12 from a school livestock program at 6 weeks. They're now 15 weeks. Assorted variety. Is this Golden Laced Wyandotte a pullet or a cockerel? It's HUGE compared to my other pullets but the comb/waddles are not nearly as pronounced as 2 of...

    Hen or Roo Guesses? 😅

    Hey! 🙂 Back with everyone’s fav game, hen or roo! Haha. I got these EE’s and a surprise EE/Silkie cross, they are 7-8 weeks. Thinking the silver EE is a roo, the one dark EE is a roo and the other dark EE is a hen. Not sure about the white silkie cross (Slim Shady is their name 🤣). Thanks in...
