Would love to see a follow up video to see if they ended up as you predicted. This is a good video for beginner chicken keepers. 😁
I had 3 rooster and 4 hens in my last batch of chickens i couldn't tell if they were rooster or hen they looked the same until they started crowing
That’s the easiest way to tell 😬
mine I correctly guessed on the nose cause The Chicks with The straight like standing up turned out to be Roosters. and The Chicks that were more closer to the ground turned out to be hens
We bought two silkie chicks assured they were female. They checked, they said. We had a roostr. Well, he checked out his new hens and soon began to mount them. Everything seemed.....normal. Until three months later when one of the "hens" began to crow. WTF? Oooookay. We named him Roo-Paul. Silkies you can't tell until they lay or crow. Other breeds are a little easier, and then there are sex links, which are no-brainer. I like heritage breeds.....so I end up with roos sometimes!
i love the sounds chicks at that age make , it's just too adorable
I agree with all your answers!!😊
I hope I’m wrong and get more hens!
I love that sound
What, chicken for "I laid an egg?" Bawk Bawk Bawk Bagoooooock! My babies were raised with "Boop boop boop!" but that's the extent of the chicken language I can share with them at this point. Boop boop boop! Is "come back to mom!" I'm sure after a while everyone recognizes "You are in the nest I want to lay MY egg in!" More of an indignant squawk.
I’m so conflicted as to whether I should get my first chickens now or wait until winter is over! Your videos have been a great help.
Where do you live weather wise, if you get little to no cold you can get them now if you want and if you live where it get really cold and it's snowing right now or it will in the next month or two you may want to wait til spring, you want you chicks to be able to fully feathered before the cold really hits where you are it will take a good month or two for the chicks to be fully feathered.
Fun note that may help you with your decision chickens handle cold better than they do summer heat so if it gets 100° summers, it can very easily kill your chickens that being said if it snows a foot or more in your area that can very well kill your chickens toO
I live in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and I’m still hatching eggs. Currently I have mostly Polish. Created a mixed breed of golden laced Polish and showgirls silky that are going to be absolutely beautiful and I have a couple Easter Eggers also. & 9 Highlanders laying hens
Get them as soon as you can, like said below, they will handle cold temps, we got our first batch in october
@@AcresOfAdventure Oh I got my first in October too! But we don't get to cold so I wasn't worried about it.
This video is the most helpful in determining a roo and hen
Thanx for sharing your experience 😊😊😊
My pleasure !
9 and 10 hens
Did you make a follow up video
So what is up with the follow up video? I can't find it in your video section.
I got 8 new R-I reds , not SR & one is twice as tall wit pronounced comb & waddle as a pullet & green neck feathers but short tail feathers ? so based on this informative video I got me a Rooster , thank you love ur content !
P.S. WOLVERINES !
I have an Americana chick and it’s giving roo i have a RIR that i was told was a hen but has the tail and a huge comb at 6 weeks so im thinking roo also i have 3 others that have no combs and wide bottoms so im hoping hens
By that age the roosters should be getting spur nubs.🐓 What are you going to do with the excess roosters?
8:34
Your Oliver is showing more traits of the cream legbar so do my 2 hens I just thought they were baby feathers
I check the feet size helps me out as well. Bigger feet is a rooster. Smaller feet are hens.
That’s a good idea!
We have found that rounded saddle feathers are the hens and the roosters have pointed saddle feathers. We have 21 birds and it's been 100% correct so far.
Something I always kept in mind for sexing three day old chicks was look at their feathers
If the chick has uniform wings that are shaped like a "C", the wing feathers are all the same length, and they have a short tail it's a cockerel
If the chick has wings shaped like a staircase, the wing feathers are two different lengths, and they have a long tail it's a pullet
Remember "C is for Cockerel"
Tractor supply, I purchased four new chicks. "60% sexed?" So I do a wing/vent check when I get them home. My guess is three hens, one ???. Four weeks old now...one has developed a reddening comb, spurs, and a worsening attitude and hasn't even lost all the fluff. He refuses to be picked up or tolerate petting. We chose "prarie bluebells" so they are Americana X Leghorn. Three have pea combs, no wattles and subtle rumps. (one has cheek tufts) A black, a grey, and a wheaten. One has a row comb...yellow, and reddening with the days. Two little knots on his legs getting bigger. He's a dark grey/light grey with splash black spots. They aren't even to six weeks but I have another home to place three of them at. I started the chicks so I end up with a single, spoiled house hen. The one who comes most readily, enjoys petting the most, likes to be snuggled a lot, SHE will be the one to stay. He is loud and demanding and tries to show off for the others, who ignore him(*chuckle*) Two more weeks; if the wheaten turns out as we planned....the other three go to a farm; where a lady is happy to take a "set" of a new breed. Bawk Bawk bawk BAGOOOOOOck.....it means "I laid a egg!"
Since I'm a vegan, what do I do with all my roosters? I'm new to this chicken farming stuff!
1:27 Q. Do Americanas have waddles? Cause I have never noticed any on ours, just a beard. And chick eleven was a hen… I think.
I think they could have small ones, mine our Easter eggers though
Americana is just an easter egger. Ameraucana is an actual breed. I dont think any of these are Ameraucana.
Not me taking your video outside to compare my byms to your assessments lol
Do you have any black copper Maran hens? 0:14 0:14
I think they are both roosters
None of mine have waddles yet. They are mostly Easter Eggers/Americans. I am still struggling to tell. Out of 8 I think 3 could be roosters
I have two that look like roosters but still haven't crowed. That will make 4 roosters for me. The other two look very distinct and crow.
I wish it was easier to get hens, I feel like we always get more roosters🙈
@@AcresOfAdventure I agree

Well at least you'll have plenty of meat for the freezer if you can't give them away kind of a good to a bad situation
This is very true
And since we’re on the baby chick subject, I have a question for you that may be somewhat different. I haven’t seen it anywhere really I’ve done some research and I like the results that I’ve read but I’m stubborn and I just don’t believe them for some reason.. I’d like to get your honest opinion.. I would assume that some breeds are a little more active than others, but some of my chicks are just not as active as some of them? And some are super active.. my other question & priority is can you feed them too much? the results say no, but I swear sometimes if my chicks eat anymore they’re going to explode 🤷🏻♂️ to the point that I am scared to use actual feeders and not just feed them a handful here and there
I’m not sure, we don’t feed ours as much because they do get to free range and eat at compost pile
@@AcresOfAdventure baby chicks like a month old free ranging?
11 Roo
12 hen
13
So my hen is crowing. She looks like a hen but is acting like a rooster. 3 months old... all my expert friends say she is definitely a hen. Guess time will tell.
My girls all have combs and waddles
If they have them early it sometimes indicates rooster, both hens and roosters can have them though.
I’ve noticed some breeds are like that example my Highlander’s have some of the biggest waddles and cones I’ve ever seen on chickens. One of my hens probably has a comb that’s 3 inches big and hangs over like Elvis. Or some punk rocker lol i’ve named her big comb 🤷🏻♂️😁
my road island reds have combs and waddles
Hens
12 hen pray ya might have a hen
How old are those birds

Cheteclers

I purchased 6 chicks and was told all of them were definitely going to be hens but nope I've got one hen in my flock what in the heck can I do with all roosters??????????
Eat em
What chicken breed do u have ?
Rooster 3
11 rooster
2nhen
Hmm hope it’s a hen. 11
Left rooster , right hen
We’re your guesses accurate??
Rooster pretty
fuckint awsome
What I have learned about hen v roo: take a chick in you hand and put it's head between your fingers and pick it up off your hand if it goes limp roo if it kicks hen. Now this is not be no means 100% fool proof a hen can go limp and a roo can kick but I hope what I have learned helps y'all.
I have seen this somewhere, I wanted to try it when they were little but forgot all about it
@@AcresOfAdventure I looked up so many videos on how to tell if I had roos or hens I had ordered a straight run for my first chicks so I had no idea how many was what, it turned out I had 10 roos and 3 hens at the time I thought it was 10 hens and 3 roos boy was I wrong.
Come to my house and look at my chickens. I can't tell.... lol
