DeannaOR: Yours is similar to my Black BLRW...Pullet. I have been trying to keep up with pictures to document for sexing purposes...
Here is what I have at 3 weeks and then at 10 weeks. B=Blue Bk=Black S=Splash - 1 hatched 3 splash, 2 Blue, and 2 Black and I named them with a number.
With mine...
I am DEFINITELY trying to WILL the first one to be a pullet...I am a strong willed gal. As for the feathering...it confuses me bc it is barred (Shannon said this indicated good lacing in the future ). That is throwing me off and keeping the dream alive I think the 2nd chick w the single comb...
I don't breed them...I am new to chickens this spring :) I bought hatching eggs from shanshan51 (on byc). There are some breeders in KY, but if you can wait DMRippy on here will be breeding here in/near Nashville, but her chicks are itty bitty.
Pullet or Roos? They are 7 wks old. I need a pullet...just one blue pullet...please...
I hatched out 7 BLRW chicks and I fear that they are all cockerels except for one black BLRW and she's cross beaked
Here are pics of 2 different chicks that have the most potential to be pullets...the rest of...
I'm here to show off my newly hatched BLRW chicks. There are 7 chicks & they are 6 days old...
shanshan51 these are from your hatching eggs
Any guesses as to what I've got...
I'm betting these two are cockerels...they are feathering in slower, are bigger, and just act roo-ish
Hoping this...
OH MAN!!! I wish you were closer! I asked about shipping and it costs about $50-$60. I just rehomed him to the lady that I bought him from. Maybe she can find him a home...or not :( If you want to pay that for shipping I could pass on her info to you. Let me know.

Thanks for the confirmation! Yes, it is the same fella in both pics. He is a sweetie, too. I hate that I can't keep him, but my very close neighbors will not appreciate him, and it against the ordinance :(
Cockerel? I suspect it is...I have 2 blrw and this one has red wattles & comb. Your thoughts? It is 8 1/2 weeks old here. If it is a cokerel I need to find him a new home...any takers? I would rather him not be dinner
Can someone tell me if my two BLR Wyandottes (4 weeks, 3 days old) are Pullets or Cockerels? Also, if you can tell me if they will feather blue or black laced, that would be great. I am hoping for pullets...can NOT have roosters in city limits! Thanks for any input...I'm a newbie :)
