Is my chick a hen or a roo ?

Let’s dive into the wonderful world of chick identification and see what makes your little feathered friend stand out!

- Roo or Hen?Hi! We’re first time chicken owners and had gotten three chicks from a straight run batch. We think two may be roosters and the other a hen. They’re hitting their 6 week mark and we’re worried about how the hen will if she’s by herself in the coop. We can’t keep roosters where I’m at but they’ll be relocated to a friend’s farm that is in need of roosters. Are the roosters? 😭 submitted by /u/fayesky [link] [comments]

- Roo or hen?So this dark Brahma has different tail feathers than the rest. They are currently around 7 weeks old. It may be too early to tell if it’s a roo or not but all the others are hens most definitely. They all came from a pullet run. submitted by /u/HopefulArticle6284 [link] [comments]
