2wk old chicks.... I have three that "cheep" and one that "trills". *updated pics at 5wks*

Alright, here's my evidence that early chick looks/behavior are pretty much meaningless. All of these chicks are now grown so there is no doubt on gender:

Clark, EE male (non-stinky eyes, thin legs):

Gertrude, EE female (dino eyes, vocal, bold, thick legs, wide comb):

Hazel, EE female (dino eyes):

Pearl, EE female (dino eyes):

Delilah, Dominique female (very vocal, leader right up until the cockerel reached sexual maturity, and liked to stand tall with tail up and neck out from a young age):

Here's some updated pics at 5wks old.

I'm almost certain they are all girls now. Cinnamon has a good comb on her, but looking at her as a chick she has very definite "girl" markings. Freckles and Nutmeg both look like very pretty hens-to-be, and Lacey is... well, she's just Lacey. I'm sure she'll catch up eventually. LOL

Freckles:


Lacey:


Nutmeg:


Cinnamon: (two pics, because I couldn't get a decent full body one)

 
Yep, Cinnamon is 100% girl. My Welsummer girls all have big combs (and spurs!) but the coloring is a dead giveaway. The rest are looking girly so far.
