Aww, you sure are having some rough times with a few. But you're such a good "chicken mama".

ust put an order into Ideal for 15 white leghorn pullets for a friend and Ideal site says they wont ship till May 12th but i clicked the little box for them to call me if my order is available to ship sooner. these chicks aren't for me their for a friend that wants them but has no way to brood chicks so i offered to brood and raise them for up to 8 weeks and then i'll take them to her.


my parents think i'm crazy for wanting to raise more but i just love fuzzbutts.


oh and my ducklings ship out a week from today on the 24th...so excited!

I am thinking these two are roosters. They are the biggest out of all of them and their comb is getting bigger and more red. What do you all think?

With mine, it's harder to tell because of the pea comb.

I want to say #1 is a pullet.
#2 I'm not sure about...leaning towards cockerel but I'm not 100%
ETA: After looking at the red on my cockerels I'm at 50/50 on your #2, maybe its the lighting but I don't see as much red in yours.







Our cockerels are a week older than our pullets. I have more but I don't have pictures of everyone. I'm not sure if they might help you or not. I'm only going off of hatchery sexing but I'm 99% sure they are 100% right on.
