I only got two out of my hatch and I think I have one hen and one rooster.

This ^^ is Shadow and she really looks like a hen to me.

They bot look boys, but is still too early to say for sure.I hope they are couple.
 

Black Leghorns- they are my main attention, White Leghorn,I still have a few Light Brown Leghorns, but am not going to breed them.I keep small flock GS Barred Rocks, small flock New Hampshire's and am starting to think about good SLW. I do not call myself Breeder- I am backyard chicken lover.

wow, beautiful color! How old are they? I have an 8 week old GLW and she has no comb or wattles yet.

If they both start crowing, I will probably cry. I paid $20 for a dozen eggs so I could hatch these and only got these two. Those are some pretty expensive roosters!

My neighbor has a BLRW rooster and he is so nice! He's beautiful too!

With those vibrant colors and red comb, I'd say you have boy's too.

Out of the 3 eggs(I had 7 total and 3 made it) I hatched 2-3 were boys.hmm.png. I rehomed the two older ones and kept the youngest. Hatching eggs is a gamble with sex, but well worth the experience.

I have a 13 week old and she has pretty big waddles.

How old are yours? I have 3 that are in the 6-8 week range and I'm trying so hard to figure out what they are! This might give me a good comparison... From what I understand the BLRW are difficult to sex so I'm still holding out hope for a pullet but at this point I've pretty much succumb to the reality that I likely have 3 cockerels.

Mom to 3 ages 4, 3, and 1 - #4 due late December :)

 

Current flock: 2 RIRs (3 yrs old), 1 BSL (3 yrs old), gifted 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes (hoping for at least one pullet!), 2 EEs, and 1 Barneveldor...

 

Hoping to learn good husbandry and the ways of the past so I can help preserve them for the future ;)
