How to know If a Chicken Is a Rooster?

How to know If a  Chicken Is a Rooster?

 A. Gaze at the chick's hackle plumage (plumage behind the neck). If they're sharp, the bird is most expected a cockerel; circular, it is expected to be a pullet.

B. Gaze at the bird's hue, if it is a sex-link chick junior than 8 weeks. Rooster black sex-links will have a banned rock tinting (black and white checkered feathers) or, if younger than a couple of weeks, a white celebrity or white splash on the head (a white color marking). In golden or red sex-links, the rooster is yellow or white
 tinted.





C. Gaze at the bird's comb (if it has one). A comb bigger than that of a pullet of the same age may show the bird is a cockerel.


D. Look at your chick's legs and contrast them with pullets of the identical age. A cockerel will have wider legs.



E. Gaze at the bird's general body structure if it is an mature person. Roosters usually have larger combs and wattles contrasted to their hen equivalent. Their plumage are often more iridescent than the hens', and they have spurs, that is, a pointed protuberance pointing rearwards partway up the back of their legs. They furthermore generally have long tail feathers that arch back elegantly, but this counts on the breed of pullet.
