Twelve weeks old. I took these today.How old are they?
Straight run birds, by definition, have not been sexed. So getting 11 out of 12 females is just as likely as flipping a coin heads 11 out of 12 times, which is certainly possible.I don't know about the coloration, but it is VERY unlikely that you have 11 pullets. Think of it like this: 100 chicks hatch. 50 males and 50 females. More people order females, so let's say that 40 females are ordered. Let's also say that only 20 males were ordered. Let's say that you ordered the remaining 40 straight run chicks. In that straight run, there are 30 males, and only 10 females. It is very improbable that you have only one cockerel. Good Luck!
I can only hazard a guess but it kind of looks like a Barred Cochin Bantam chicken. As far as gender, probably won't be able to tell until around 4 months old or so to see if he/she crows or doesn't.This little one is finally getting feathers. My daughters ag class hatched this 'bantam' but we have no clue what it is. She/he has stayed small and fuzzy forever it seems. Hatched the week before Easter and just feathered this past week. Breed and gender anyone?View attachment 1063448
