This Lady Was Pink Banded As A Pullet. I just want to know what she is

It's a Lakenvelder. And that comb is awfully pink for a chick that still has down on the head. Keep in mind, even the best vent sexer is only about 90% accurate.

Still too young to be sure about the gender of #1 and #3. The Welsummer is definitely female. #3 is not an Orpington with that yellow skin/beak.

Splash Orpingtons can have yellow on their beak and feet which will fade to grey as they get older.

Thank you! That gives me hope on a few levels. I am hopeful that #1 & #3 could still be pullets and that #3 is an olive egger.

I will wait to post on my 6wk black australorp then but maybe you can help with my 7 wk EE and blue copper maran?
