An easy way to tell a pullet from a cockerel is to look at their wing feathers, if they are even lengthed, then it’s a hen. If they are 2 different sizes, they are roos.

*this is not always accurate and may vary on breeds*

Another way you may be able to tell is if they started developing tail feathers quickly when a couple weeks old. A hen gets tail feathers quicker than a rooster.


Roosters also get redder combs and wattles than hens at like 6 weeks old, which may be a good option at your chicks age.


(I’m sorry if these don’t work but this is what I use when my chicks are younger.)

Hello again all!

My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my second issue... I know what breeds I bought, but as they have aged I don't know which is which If you could help with age and/or breed I would be so grateful! I bought: a black laced gold wyandotte, brahma, rhode island red, cinnamon queen, easter egger, and a new hampshire. I know which ones the wyandotte and the brahma are, but I'm at a loss for the rest!

1) Black laced gold wyandotte: pullet?
2) Not sure of breed: suspected cockrel?
3) Not sure of breed: pullet?
4) Not sure of breed: suspected cockrel?
5) Brahma: pullet?
6) Not sure of breed: suspected cockrel?

Thanks in advance guys and gals!

1,4,5,6 in my opinion like like cockerels. Mostly Due to their hackles, but their combs as well And the color of the Wyandotte I think

1) golden laced cockerel. Indicators for me are the hackles, color, and defined comb
2. Easter egger-pullet
3. Easter egger (looks similar to a cinnamon queen but the comb is different and colors slightly diff.)-pullet
4.RIR-cockerel
6.RIR-cockerel
