Is "she" a "he"?

[Mmdieter]

I bought 6 chicks that should have all been females. I am wondering if I got a male or two in the bunch. I think I got 2 Rhode Island reds, 2 Delawares and 2 americauna. They are about 12 weeks old.

I think the first one is a little roo

the wattles are really red for such a young age..but dont take me 100%
All the the others look like pullets

That's what I was afraid of. Bummer...

I think the first one is a roo, the production reds look like my pullets and although I can't see the face, the coloring on your EE is the same as my EE pullet.

First one in the first pic looks like a cock.
Sorry, but every flock needs a rooster, right?
(unless you have a rooster already)

 

[Mmdieter]

The first white one is also one of the white ones in the group picture. Does that mean both of the white Delewares are probably roos? They look pretty similar. At what age do you know for sure?

I would say wait abit longer to tell for sure. I have a lavender orpington that had large waddles and a large comb at about the same age. Everyone said rooster because of that...however she is a beautiful hen who just hatched her first brood. Another month you should be able to tell for sure.

You have 2 Delawares, 2 Easter Eggers, and 2 Production Reds. I'd keep an eye on the 1st Delaware, he/she looks boyish. The rest looks like pullet.

doesnt really scream cockerel but the redness of the comb and wattles make me think cockerel

Agree...
