Silver lakenvelders

[Whitepines]

I only hatched out two and was hoping for a pair. I know sexing is supposed to be tricky with this breed but pretty sure I have two cockerels?

I think you are right, two cockerels. However I wouldn't say its absolutely certain the one with the paler comb is a male. I'd watch the comb a bit longer and see what happens.

The one with the more pronounced and red comb is a definite cockerel.
The other one I think could go either way, so update that one in a few more weeks.

Also, how old are they?

They hatched May 20th. About 6 weeks?

Hello! If it helps, this is my silver lakenvelder pullet (at least I'm pretty sure she is lol) who is currently 9 weeks old. She's a little bit older than your pair, but I've noticed her comb has stayed pretty small and pale pink compared to those two.

Thank you! Boy, I am roostered out. I got 11 out of 18 from my hatchery straight run adopt me assortment. Then, if these are both roosters, I will have five out of seven from these eggs I hatched. at least I am pretty sure I have a pair of Ayem cemani and they are gorgeous.
