When you get your peeps, You can hold them around the neck/upper body loosely and the thighs/lower body. If they squirm around, that means they're roosters. I didn't think that this would work but in May, I recorded that I got 12 roosters and now in September, I recorded that I have 14 roosters so the trick must seem to work.

How do you tell a roster apart from a hen?

You can tell a roster apart from a hen by their physical characteristics. Roosters typically have larger combs, wattles, and spurs than hens. They also tend to have longer and more colorful feathers, and they often have a more upright and pronounced posture compared to hens. Additionally, roosters are known for their crowing, while hens typically do not make as much noise.


Whats difference between a baby chick rooster and hen combs?

Hard to tell when they are babies. Once they start to grow up it gets easier. The males will develop combs faster and much more pronounced than the hens. That also depends on if you have breeds that will have no comb at all, like a silkie. In general the hen has a smaller comb.

How do you tell buff orpington hen from rooster pullet?

Pullets are actually hens, that is female. Roosters or cockerals who are Buff Orpingtons cannot always be told apart from the pullets (ladies). Some say the rooster has more golden saddle feathers, thicker legs and a more developed comb. But hens can have nice combs, too. Here's the kicker: BO hens can also crow! The only way to be sure is to wait a year or more and see who doesn't lay eggs. That's be the rooster, usually docile.too.


Can you tell by the shape of a egg if it is a rooster or a hen?

No. The size and shape of an egg does not determine the gender of the potential chick inside the egg. There is absolutely no way to determine gender until the embryo is fully formed and hatched.

How do you tell a rooster from a hen?

For adult chickens, roosters are generally a bit bigger, and have longer, showier tail feathers. You can also tell by behavior. Roosters will tend to be more commanding, and will usually avoid other roosters if they have enough space and there are enough hens, or else fight with them if the space is too small or there are not enough hens. They can also often be observed jumping on hens' backs to mate.

Why do chicken crow?

Actually it is the rooster that crows, the hens sometimes make attempts to mimic the rooster but it comes out as a cackle. The reason the rooster crows is to communicate. He will crow to announce to the world that he is on guard and watching over his flock, he crows to let his hens (and other roosters hens) where he is and how to find him. They crow to warn of danger when a predator is spotted. He will crow in response to a hen announcing she has laid an egg. They often crow just to tell the world they are doing what roosters do.

Yes and no. First off most will tell you it is best to have an odd number of roosters in a flock. Not an even number. Ducks & geese are messy birds. So they make dry bedding wet which chickens dislike. Hope this helps!

Do grocery stores have fertilized eggs?

it doesnt matter if they are fertilized as it doesnt affect the taste, etc. Factory farms dont keep roosters with the hens much less give them enough room to mate even if roosters were present so if you buy eggs from the store, they wont be fertile. When you crack a fertilized egg you can see a small white spot orf bullseye on the yolk. it doesnt matter if they are fertilized as it doesnt affect the taste, etc. Factory farms dont keep roosters with the hens much less give them enough room to mate even if roosters were present so if you buy eggs from the store, they wont be fertile.
