Sesame(supposed to be a RIR, but I doubt it)

One of mine that IFA said was RIR looks exactly like this, so I'm also curious what others say, as my other RIR looks very different.

Looks much younger than 7 weeks. (Maybe 3-4 wks)
No signs of male yet

You are right, I mistakenly counted back from when I ordered them but did not pick them up until a few weeks later.

I have two birds with the chipmunk markings which look the same except for their wings. One has long wings to the tail while the other one has shorter wings. Can I safely assume the long wings would be the cockerel & the short wings would be the pullet?

The left & center birds are in question in this photo... Disregard the one on the right.



The one closest to the feeder & one directly behind are what I'm questioning....



Thanks!

You can not make assumptions about gender simply because one chick has long wing feathers than the other. Sexing by feather development is only accurate if a chick is specifically bred for it.

This morning I hear one of my speckled Sussex pullets "crowing". I knew that this one particular bird looked a bit different and definitely larger than the paired pullet. Just for peace of mind's sake, I wanted to get sex confirmation here before I called the seller for an exchange. Thanks!

yes yes that is a cockerel

 

[Chickencrazy03]

what makes you think cockerel? Just wondering cause these were supposed to be 99 percent sexed as pullets.

This chick ( red and grey) is bigger than the other EE chicks wondering if pullet or roo?

Cockerel.

Sorry if these are a bit young. I am not 100% sure on the age, but I am guessing about 5 weeks. They are ee.

I am pretty sure these are cockerels based on coloring

Thanks for the help!
