Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

New to seramas & Old English Game. These 4 chicks just turned 3 weeks old today. I read that they develop combs/wattles very quickly. I'll probably know gender next week, but I'm putting the pics out now if anyone wants to guess.


Seramas: I think the white one is silkied. It's much smaller than the gold one. The gold has personality +. It flies up to the edge of the tote as soon as the lid is removed. It's a very good flier and loves to perch on top of the kids' heads. It's larger than the other serama & OEG. Of course the eggs were varied in size, so it may not mean much.

___________________________________________

OEGs (DS really likes these.) I'm pretty sure the smaller one is female. Her lines are crisp, comb is super tiny, body is petite, and wings grew in very quickly. The grey one I have no idea, but DS calls it HIS.

The pictures aren't showing for me.

Hard to tell by the light color. Are some of those little sebrights?

This little one looks like an easy male with those big wattles already.

Silkies are the toughest to sex. Unless there's something obvious like wattles it may be 10-12 weeks before you can even take a guess.

Yes bunch of sebrights! Some are starting to get orange crowns..they are 4 weeks except for the obvious roo with the waddles, he is 6 weeks!
Does the orange crown mean anything? Boy/girl?

Please take a look at my Lavender Ameracuana “pullets” do I have a roo? 2 pics of each bird. Bird 1:

@Foodfromhome
I can't see the comb well on the first bird. A pullet will have a very pale comb with a narrow raised ridge down the center.

Second bird has a wider lumpy looking cockerel comb that is pinkish. I think cockerel, but you need another week to be sure.

It's better if you can get a side view of them standing naturally. Can't really see the tail and how they stand and hold themselves nor the thickness of the legs.
Beautiful coloring!
