I got my 4 little chicks who are now 5.5 weeks old. The biggest i started calling Big Boy... and was so happy thinking the 3 smaller ones would be female. But all 3 smaller ones now have bright pink hanging wattles 😭

I am thinking Big Boy might possibly be my only girl! The crest feathers that aren't still pinned seem round.. the other 3 are getting larger than Big Boy, and i only see flesh colored, still flat, wattles on (him/her).

Here are my pics of Big Boy (the other 3 are obviously male to me)... **there is a lot of window and kitchen lighting, so the flesh on the scalp, feet, and chin look pinker than they actually are. My hand looks like it belongs to the pink panther.

Hoping the crest looks girly.

Yay pullet!!😁 (I’m thinking!🤣)
 
Honestly I think it is still too early!😊
Big boy looks like a Big Girl. The others are still wait and see.🥰
#2 is the only likely cockerel as far as I can tell.
I know... its early, and i do have time to wait.. I just want to cut the attachment cord on the males asap, since im a crybaby mama! 😆 at this point, I'll be happy with one female!!

I don't know why my camera picks up color the way it does. But nuggets 1&2 have actually bright pink wattles.
