we look at thier legs . check to see if they have lil knots on thier leg where .the spurs would be . Males have longer necks and are usually taller, and they have a sort of a thick part of skin where their spurs will grow as they age.

When can you tell a young hen from a Jake?

The hens are more timid and the cockerels are more outgoing. The young roosters will start to practice crowing at about 6 to 8 weeks old. They will play fight and appear more aggressive about this same time. If you toss something over the heads of the flock you will notice the hens squat down and the cockerels will look up to see what the danger is. You will also notice more growth in comb and wattle.

When do chickens start showing if they are males or females?

You can usually tell by the time they are about 4 months old just by observing their antics. Cockerels will "play fight" and be more aggressive than the hens. When startled, the hens will duck and crouch while the young males will go on alert and look up and around for the danger. There will be more vocalizations from the males also, while they may not be crowing yet they will make more noise than hens.


How can you tell the difference between cochin hens and cochin cockerals as chicks?

Cochin chickens cannot be sexed based on their feathers like some other birds. Only two ways to tell, one is by waiting until they are about a month old and the cockerels start to form wattles or by vent sexing them. I do not suggest the vent sexing method unless you have someone who is experienced in the field helping you. It is difficult to tell the difference to an untrained eye. However if you are set on trying it, remember that it needs to be done quickly as the chicks can get ill from infections. Also the vent sexing method does put a fair amount of stress on them. All in all, my suggestion is to wait.

You think one of your hens is a rhode island red rooster how can you tell?

Several ways...Observe its behavior...cockerels will be aggressive and more curious than hens. Toss a hat over the bird and see how it reacts. if it crouches and remains still it is probably a hen...young roosters will look to see what the threat is, and advance on the "intuder" Does the bird "play fight" with other birds? only cockerels do this. Check the back of the legs for the start of spurs hens don't get them. However some roosters get them quite late, not always accurate. Neck feathers...usually longer in a male. Practice crowing...if you have another rooster who does crow, the young male will mimic the sound very soon after hearing the Alpha bird.
