Here’s a pic of them from around 6 weeks. First pic is the Ameraucana, second is the olive egger. The olive egger has always been a little runty and slow to feather.

Thanks. I have a lavender olive egger that is also getting redder. Hoping at least one of them is a pullet. Thoughts?

Wondering if you have any thoughts on my Ameraucana as well? It’s about 8 weeks old. Comb isn’t huge, but is pretty bumpy and quite red. Thanks!

For comparison, here is my 8 week old BCM. She has almost no comb still.

Really hoping at least one is a girl. Hatch date of 3/21 so coming up on 8 weeks old. The Ameraucana definitely has a bumpier comb, but the olive egger is also pinking up and is SO SLOW to feather. These two are the olive egger. And these are the Ameraucana Thanks for the help!

I think it’s a cockerel. Here’s a pic of my 7 week old speckled Sussex for comparison. She has very minimal comb and no wattles.

Could you switch to a nipple waterer? Mine picked up on it super easy. I also moved mine out to the coop at 4&5 weeks and had no issues. Temps still getting into the 30s at night.

All of them?

I’m definitely not an expert, but looks like a pullet to me. I have a 6 week old silver laced Wyandotte that I’ve been curious about as well. In my research I’ve been seeing that Wyandotte pullets get pink combs and wattles early, but the boys get bright red. I added pics of mine that many have...

Is the grey one’s neck all bloody? If so, you will want to isolate it from the rest of the flock or the other chicks will continue to peck at it (possibly until death).

Thanks. Is it the comb/wattles that make you say roo? Here’s another pic.

So you think they are all pullets? That would be great!

I have a flock of 12 chicks. All are about 6-7 weeks old. I have one lavender Ameraucana that I’m almost positive is a cockerel, but then three that I’m on the fence about. Please help! Lavender Olive Egger. Supposed to be a mix of BBS Marans and CCL, but idk how they would get the lavender...

Thanks! They moved out a couple weeks ago but I’ve kept their heat plate on. We are going through a cold snap this week but once the weather warms up I was considering turning it off since they are all fully feathered now.

Here is my lavender Ameraucana at about 6 weeks. I’m thinking it’s actually a little cockerel. Sad. And this is my little olive egger. Still up in the air on gender on this one but the extra slow feathering makes me think cockerel as well. Hopefully at least one ends up a pullet.

She’s really grown into her name 🤣

Posted a pic of Hammer as a chick. And yeah, most people seem to think Teton is a boy. Bummer.

Hammer was quite grey as a chick (on the right in this pic) and then grew in white. We named it hammer because we didn’t know what it was and so we called it “mystery chick” or “MC”…which morphed into “MC Hammer”. Lol. After some research I thought it was a Plymouth White Rock (also because the...

Here’s a pic of your two “suspects” together. I’m holding out hope because I’ve heard wyandottes pink up early, and my Delaware has almost no black coloring. But who knows? Both were supposed to be pullets but we all know mistakes happen…
