As I mentioned in yesterdayâs post about the house where Joan Crawford (aka Faye Dunaway) lived in Mommie Dearest, I have become just a wee-bit obsessed with the 1981 film as well as the 1978 autobiography of Joanâs daughter, Christina Crawford, on which it was based.
The rooster's sexual organ is called a papilla, a small bump inside his cloaca from which semen exits. To mate, a rooster climbs onto the back of a hen, standing on the hen's back and using his wings maintain balance, and forcefully touches his cloaca to hers in what's known as a cloacal kiss.
How to sex chickens Although everybody can tell a hen from a rooster when they're fully grown, it can be difficult to disentangle your cockerels (male) from your pullets (female) if you're raising straight run (un-sexed) chicks.he best way to sex chickens, in my opinion, is to watch your birds mature in their second month of life. The males will nearly always start showing a comb before the females and will already be larger --- this is much easier to tell if you have multiple chicks of the same breed and age to compare.
