Storey's Guide To Raising Chickens by Gail Damerow is an excellent resource. https://www.amazon.com/Storeys-Guide-Raising-Chickens-3rd/dp/1603424695

The one on the left is a rooster, no doubt. But is the one on the right a pullet or "late blooming" rooster? Your expert thoughts are much appreciated.r

To answer to my own question. I think she's a blue Orpington/Polish mix. This is what she looks like all grown up. She lays a light brown/tan egg which sometimes we confuse with one of our Buff Orpington's eggs.

On this warm Spring day, we took our new CL babies out in the yard for their first photo shoot. Such a handful of cuteness!

Egg color update. The leghorn's eggs are back to white.

We just got two cream legbar chicks and the lady we bought them from said they were three weeks old but this useful guide helped me figure out they are actually a week younger. Thanks for the photos, very much appreciated.

Thank you. The NPIP farmer said he had 100% accuracy last year sexing his BO so I was hopeful he got it right this year too. But it's good to hear what BYC folks have to say. They are so sweet, friendly and cute, just love having them in our flock. They keep us laughing and smiling. :)

No, their legs are somewhere between pink and beige/yellow (or bone) if that makes sense. Almost a lighter version from their feathers. So happy to hear pullets because I've had so many roosters since I started keeping chickens this year. Good thing I found new homes for the Roos because I...
