This thread has been so helpful in sexing my chicks! Here are "the Littles" now. Rosie(right), at 7 weeks, has all the signs of a roo...comb, stance, legs, slow feathering, while Sally is much more hen like. They are such a cute couple, I have found a new home for both of them so they can stay together.

I'm thinking pullets all around, well, except #6, that red comb says roo to me, also, am I seeing three rows of peas there? I couldn't see legs on number six, are they thick? And, I believe I read somewhere a ways back on this bread that the black and white are usually Roos.

In any event, beautiful, healthy looking bunch.

Chicken stew, sweet story. Glad they get to stay together.

#1 - Truffle

#2

#3 - excuse my finger, they don't like my phone so I was being sneaky

#4 -white and black on the left #5 on the right

I'm guessing the pastel chick is a clean faced easter egger because I can't find any breeds on Meyer hatchery site that match her. I think it is a pullet, but her comb is different than the other EEs
I'll get comb pics tomorrow after work

Those are all girls and indeed EE's.

 

#3 will turn out to be a beautiful and practically proper silver duckwing in color. smile.png

Illia, mine got missed at the top of page 69
could you venture a guess on these 5 babies. Proximately 5 weeks old. If you need closer pictures I will get some tomorrow.
I thought I had 3 girls and 2 boys, but today I think I may only have 1 girl, and I'm praying I'm wrong, I need pullets and these are the first 5 I ever tried hatching, I hate to think I will have to butcher 4 of them.W
Makes me so sad......... and they are so friendly and cute..awwwwwwwwwwww WHaaaaaa hit.gif
