4 wks old- partridge and barred rocks. Girls or boys?

[lemurchaser]

I have 5 chicks that should be all pullets, but I'm starting to wonder. Two of the partridge rocks have brown combs, and one has a bright yellow comb. Then the 2 barred rocks have bright yellow combs. What should I be looking for as far as which is which?

Agnes-comb


Agnes-feet


Agnes-pretty girl (or boy)?


Mildred- slow to feather and has a brown comb


Mabel- yellow comb and even yellower legs


Mabel


Mabel


Mildred


Ethel or Maude


Ethel

With Barred Rocks you can usualy tell because females will have a dark streak down the front of there legs and when they are smaller they will have smaller white head spots compared to the males. I am not sure about partridge rock.

Good Luck Hope for pullets,
Henry

The Partridge Rocks are all pullets.The males have a completely different feather pattern than females.
