Ahh, yours are adorable!! I am annew chicken mama, so I don’t know for sure, but I would guess you have 2 pullets. I say that because both of mine had big red combs and waddles coming in at 6 weeks. The breeder had like 8 left, so I took mine back to her and she let me take pullets, and at 6...
Sooo cute! Ahh, I love these birds! Your pullet still has NO comb tho and mine does! It’s significantly smaller than my cockerels, but it’s there and red. I hope that doesn’t mean she’s a slow developing cockerel! 😭
I’ll get a picture today.
I got this EE and I’m desperately trying to figure out if it’s a roo or hen! I can only have hens in my HOA. I know it’s still probably early, but maybe some of you experienced chicken owners can provide some insight into what I should be looking for?
The comb got bright orange/red pretty...
I was worried about the feathers on her neck, didn’t know if those were hackle feathers coming in. I’ve never heard of a New Hampshire Red, I’ll have to Google it. I just hope she’ll do ok in our Phoenix summer!

Here’s an updated picture of my girl, she’s like 9 weeks now? Yours does look super similar! One thing I’ve noticed with mine is her legs are yellow but her feet are pink.
Oh yeah, there a big difference in combs and now the waddle in yours! So do you feel basically 100% your red and white is a cockerel? Mine are 5 weeks today, so I’ll keep an eye out for waddle development! But mine have 2 very different personalities too. My little red one is at the very bottom...
No, you answered!! I’m bummed, I was really hoping for 2 hens. Do you feel pretty confident the white faced one is a cockerel, or should I wait a few more weeks? And I’m a few weeks, I should know about my little brown one too? They’re both sooo sweet, but the white one does “square up” with the...
