Why do you s

ay cockerel? I have Barnevelder and it looks like this but it’s female …. Curious ?

I'm not the person you were asking, but for me it was the large comb/wattles and feet that said cockerel to me. The coloring looked female for quite a while, but in the latest update he looks like a cockerel should.

Yeah this is by far my most complicated chicken experience. I've spent many, many, many hours searching the Internet for photos of barnevelders of ALL ages and still come up with thinking "Dang, who knows?!"... It's been really fun though. I still have a hard time with the waddles and comb. That's got me balancing on the fence pretty wobbly like.

I’m in the same boat. I have a 7-8 week old Barnevelder and it looks not like this one but I have my suspicions as well I’m going to have to post a picture of mi e and jump in here cause I’m completely confused about 4 of my birds. Another I believe is a hen but she has an attitude if she is pullet …3 are EE one barn elder and a Wyandotte that has a red comb but all else I see says pullet I’ve never been this confused with my others they all were easy hen hen hen … this time I’m thinking I have a roo or three which will be very disappointing since I can’t have them here and because they were all sexed at birth …. So …. I know sometimes they are not right but with this many? I’ve always gotten my chicks from here and all have been correct and were hens but I don’t know this go round

I didn't see this until today. I apologize!

He was 7 weeks I think.

Here's him on June 9th. Just over 18 weeks old.

He's very handsome and still a sweetie.

I have two barnevelder chicks I’m trying to sex. They are like 4.5 weeks now. One is smaller, slightly darker. One is bigger, lighter, bigger comb. Thoughts?

make a new thread instead of resurrecting old dead ones - you will get more views and more help and it's kinda the way of these forums - they don't like people necroing old threads.
