Pullets or Cockerels?
Thanks in advance!

5 and 7 are brown leghorns

2, 5, 6, and 7 are all boys. 1 and 3 are too young to say pullet for sure. 4 is a red sexlink pullet.

4 and 5 are both definitely cockerels. 1,6, and 7 are red sexlink pullets. 2 and 3 look like pullets for now.

Thank you im hoping the 2 in question stay pullets

My hen hatched out these chicks five weeks ago. Any guesses on Pullets or roos? The first and second are the same bird, an easter egger.




This black chick is a olive egger


This dark blue chick was supposed to be a blue marans, but lacks the correct comb and feathered feet. I think it must be some kind of mix. Thoughts? It is the smallest of all the chicks.


This is the black copper marans


The last chick is another easter egger


Thank you for your help!!!!!!

Hello, I'm new to chickens and I have 2 EE chicks that are around 6 or 7 weeks old. I'm wondering if I have pullets or cockerels.

1.



2.



And here's them side by side a good view of each comb.


Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

1. has some red feathers coming in, a wide comb, & stands upright like a roo. That's my guess.
2. has the typical pullet feather pattern.

The comb is pretty small & I don't see much dev in the wattles, so I'd guess female.

1, 3, 4 = pullets
2,5,6,7 = males

It's really too young to know, but I noticed a few things.


The BOs still look female at this point.

Both BA's are standing upright. That could be a sign of a roo or also a sign that the chick was nervous about having its pic taken. BA #2 does have some color in the wattles. That could also be a male sign (or just a sign that it was hot/scared), so I'd keep an eye out to see if the comb shoots up. It too early to correctly tell gender, but I'd watch for other clues as well.

Wyandotte #2 has a very pink comb. WOW! If you had a male, my guess would be that one. However, I don't know much about sexing that breed, and I've heard other people mention that they get pink early. The good news is that you have 2 of each breed. That will make it easy to compare.
