4 week old BLRWs...boy or girl?

[dwegg]

Hey BYC..maybe someone can help tell me what I have here. Are they boys? girls? or even BLRW? My first time with chicks and I love them.

I didn't know that there were different colors of BLRW (thanks 'The Warden')..do you know what colours these guys are?

At the moment their names are Laverne and Shirley!

hmmm I totally not sure..but I bet if you ship them to me I can figure it out in a few years LOL.. pretty babies hope to have my own of that breed soon

Are you sure they're BLRWs? They have single combs. Throwbacks do occur, but they're supposed to have rose combs.

yes someone mentioned this before but I don't know anything about chickens? about single combs ect! I got them from a 4H group that hatched them from a local farmer who breed the different breeds...was told they were BLRW? but I don't know...I hope they are as i love the breed and coloring...

any clues on what they are or if they are boys or girls?

 

[keesmom]

They're too young right now to tell.

I don't know about the BLRW part, but I think you have a pair. (1st one has tree trunks for legs so I say boy, the other one doesn't so I say girl)

I think you are going to have to have some patience on these two. I too love the BLRW and am planning to hatch some this summer.

[dwegg]

I would give them a few more weeks, at least 2 more. By eight weeks you should get a better idea if someone is a roo or not. I think they could be BLRW I looked at feathersite and some other sites and the BLRW chicks look simular to what you have. Wyandottes can have single combs, my SLW has a single comb. It is a ressesive gene that they carry and sometimes they get them.
