[Heavenly Love Hatchery]

Hi everyone I hatched out these Mrico Millie Fluer D'Uccles from my flock the 4 dark color ones are 4 weeks and the 2 light blonde ones are 3 weeks old. Are they Pullets or Cockerels?? No red combs or waddles very light color combs just tan no waddles appearing either. Thank you

It's a little early, so nothing is saying anything yet

I was reading other postings on here and at 4 weeks old cockerals had a red comb

I was reading other postings on here other members on Millie Fluer D'Uccles chicks Cockerels and Pullets and at 4 weeks old roosters had a red comb and waddles already by this age

Well yours are still a week away from that. Even so, not every bird is going to have the same development. Roosters are males over a year old

While it's true that D'Uccles can show their gender early, it is not always the case. Too young to be saying anything for certain. For now there are no clues that point to a male

I was reading other members posting on Millie Fluer D'Uccles at this age and cockerels had red combs and waddles at this age and pullets looked like this

So should I wait until next weekend?

You could even wait longer than that. Especially if you're breeding them, a lot of changes can happen, so it's wise to wait for as long as possible before selling/giving away. For now there are no signs of a male, that might change in a week, or in three weeks, or never
