It's still early, but does anyone see probable signs of pullets or cockerels? All from the same EE rooster.
chick 1. My fav. Dad is a reddish EE & mom is a BIG gold & grey hen (her mix contains Orpington & Welsummer.)
I'm having a hard time telling if the feather coloring is boy reddish brown or pullet gold. The large comb looks 3-row-wide to me.
Prediction= boy
chick 2. Same mom & dad as #1. Narrower comb but same reddish color questions.
Prediction= boyish
chick 3. Both parents are EE. Chick hatched from green/blue egg
Prediction= boyish
chick 4. Same parents as chicks 1&2 My daughter talked me into adding an extra egg from our fav hen. We pulled this one out of the fridge & incubated it. Her/His name is Omelet because that was supposed to be her destiny.
Prediction= female
chick 5. Both parents EE. Chick hatched from green/blue egg
Prediction= boyish
Chick 6. Mom is a white EE / egg-laying machine & Dad is brown. Chick is mostly black. How???
Prediction= female
I agree with your predictions except chick 3 - looks like a pullet to me. Please post again once you know for sure.
