Thank you. She is a hatchery black Australorp.  One of my all time favorites.  Love the big dark eyes.

She is a cutie. We are hoping to add Australorp hens to match up woth our roo.

I have two gold Wyandottes that are from the same feed store and one started a little bigger And still not close to same size or feather development

Appa my bigger pullet

Aang my smaller pullet

I don't know I guess I'm just worried with the different development I might have 1 roo and 1 hen any thoughts?

they're on my shoulders you can see one is a bit bigger although their temperament is very laid back Also they're about 3 thi 3 1/2 weeks in these pictures

To early to tell. Come back in a few weeks. So far they all look like pullets though. Just like people pullets come in different sizes. Watch for reddening in the comb as the first sign with wyandottes. Also lack of tail feather development.

Hello fellow chicken fans, these little chickadees are a little over 6 weeks old. The first chicks, the two together (Stiltskin and Butterscotch), are siblings--a Silkie-Speckled Sussex mix. I'm pretty sure that Stiltskin is a pullet and Butterscotch is a cockerel based on their combs, but the others I'm not so sure about. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Any chick with a comb as red as chick A's before 10 weeks of age is a cockerel.
#1 and #2 are red sexlink pullets. They can be sexed by color, so you know for sure that they are female.
#3 is a Barred Rock. And since the comb is red and the barring is 'lighter', you can be sure that it is also male.
#5 is an Easter Egger cockerel.
#7 is a Barred Rock pullet. Notice how much darker her barring is, compared to #3.
