1 cockerel 3 pullets?

[ValerieJ]

I'm going with 2 cockerels and 2 pullets. The one lavender I suspect most are thinking could be a boy, the comb is slightly larger than the pullet, but in the last picture it is pale and much smaller than the obvious cockerel. I'm leaning towards cockerel for the bo. Smaller comb than the lav, but much redder with some decent wattles. (Although I have had girls pop their combs and wattles early and keep me guessing)

I'm hoping for this outcome, although I'll be happy however it turns out. We just moved them out to the little integration coop so I might be able to get some better photos tomorrow.

It's hard to get decent photos of chicks exploring grass for the first time, but here goes:
This is Alice

This is Absalom

This is Hatter and Absalom

And this is Pippi, who started it all

I now think I have 3 cockerels and 1 pullet. Alice is the pullet. Thanks to everyone who helped me figure this out.

I do think Alice is a pullet. But I'm honestly not quite sure about Absalom... he's a... maybe

It's the tail that makes me suspicious.

Yeah, I can see that... Idk, can you post more pictures in a couple of weeks? Any excuse for more pictures, right!!

View attachment 1925696 View attachment 1925691 At 6 weeks I see 1 cockerel and 3 pullets. What do you see? (ETA: 2 more photos.)

Yeah, that one in the front definitely looks like a cockerel. The other three look like pullets.

Lavender's can trick you, mine have small combs but others have had BIG combs. The BO i'm not sure since I only have one, so i'm going with cockerel, still a chance that fella is a pullet. The lavender's look like 2 pullets and 1 cockerel, again, possible pullet. I am going off experience not guesses.

My lavender's tails are high, despite them being pullets, they are 7 months. Not a good pic but it is not impossible to see the high tail.

The one on the "ladder" has a very high tail.

Hmmm...these are my first lavenders. You might be right about Absalom. Or is it Abby?
