10 week old genders?

[Lemon-Drop]

Hey there! Some of you may know, I’ve been doing gender updates every week since week 4. (Well, except for last week)

But anyway, these are the two I’m most curious about.

First up is Sam/antha. The one I’m having most trouble with. So far, no crowing, and no hackles or saddles, (of course, those usually come in later) but a bit of a tall stance compared to some of the others. S/he is a Starlight Green Egger.

Then of course their is Cupcake, a Buff Brahma. I know they mature later, so that’s the main reason I think cockerel, as their could be too much comb development/redness for a 10 week old pullet. But here is Cupcake.

Here are a few others for comparison, that I think are girls.

Pullets.

Yep! Pretty Pullets!

Pullets.

Ah! That would be amazing! Sam is one of my siblings chickens (Though not starburst’s) and I’m taking care of “her”

Last year she had fallen in love with a cochin, that turned out to be a cockerel... which we can’t keep. And then this year we started suspecting cockerel with this one as well... meaning it would be both of the only two she had being cockerels, is that makes any sense. But anyway, that would be amazing!

 

[RoostersAreAwesome]

They’re pullets

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Still looking like all girls!

 

[Sortacountrychicken]

I'm thinking both pullets

Ah! Thanks! I really, really hope so! (Can’t keep cockerels)

But I’m pretty sure I’ll know for sure in the next two weeks, either if crowing starts or hackles/saddles show up

Yep. If they are going to sprout them it will be soon. I think of my cockerels last year, the latest one to grow them had them coming through at 11 weeks but I have heard people say they haven't seen them until 13 weeks. They have just always been earlier in my experience.
