12 week old update. 3 boys 3 girls?

[gothgonechickenmad]

For those that have helped identify the gender of my 6 chicks over the last few weeks. I'm pretty sure now that there is 3 pullets and 3 boys.

Hatched 12 weeks ago this weekend and (said in the style of Friends "Chandlers a girl") Eggbets a girl, Eggbets a girl......(I think )

Eggbet had a hard start - hatched the last couldn't stand, needed its legs splinted and had pasty butt for first 10 days. Its always been much smaller than the other chicks and at at 3 weeks old only looked a week old but out of nowhere it seems to have really caught up to its hatch siblings.....and I am not seeing any male traits, feathering or comb & wattle development at all, does anyone think I'm wrong?

Added a Pic of Dad (Leghorn mum x CCL dad) and the broody (Rhode Rock) who raised them, just because they were happy to pose for photos today!

You are correct with your guesses.

Yep, 3 boys and 3 girls. I find it interesting that a white rooster was the father of these. Wouldn't have expected that at all.

Haha me too! Hes my only cockerel so i know for sure he is. He is a hybrid himself and will carry the barring gene from his Crested Cream Legbar dad. His mum was a White Leghorn and he certainly got the looks from her side.

Lillibet, Eggbet and Danita are 16 weeks old today! Expecting eggs in a few weeks ladies!

I'm still hoping Eggbet is a girl (barred one). She is still smaller and underdeveloped but fingers crossed any male traits would have shown by now.
