Is that correct? Thank you @Crazy for Chickens!

Also thank you @Henrybelle and @jessg84 for posting pictures of your chicks at the same age. It’s looking like mine are cockerels compared to yours.

3,4,5 months actually.
Some mature faster than others like people. I’m an experienced vet and farmer so I wouldn’t doubt what I say.

In some breeds it can be delayed, yes.

you could send the roos south?

Your guesses seem pretty on point by what I can tell. And may I just say, a few of those birds have the most gorgeous blue/green eyes ever! Stunning !

You even think that the Brahma is a pullet? Got any guesses on the Ameraucana?

Thanks, that’s the second comment on my chicks eyes today! They are quite beautiful!

Based on those photos, I would still say pullet. The comb is a bit developed, but it's not overly red. Guess you might just have to wait until it crows or lays an egg!

Glad to hear there is still a chance for her!

Even though I’m 70% sure it’s a cockerel. Just call it a pullet until it reaches full maturity. Then it should be obvious

Ok, will do! How old is maturity? Once they crow or lay?

 

[TheYLWFlock]

Oh wow looks like we’ll be waiting awhile!

For our other 3 guaranteed cockerels (the GLW, BR and Lav Orp) do you recommend just advertising them for $10 if people want to eat them or free if they will have a good home?
