Hi, so I got these from a local where they got from Ideal.
They claim 90% chance of pullet

First up, white leghorn

Next, two chickens ("ameraucana" and RIR)

Too young? How old can they be sexed?

Thanks!
 
Nice, but what are the reasons? :)
I was thinking these are too young to tell.
 
You ameraucana is actually an easter egger. Right now no one is screaming cockerel, but it is still a tad early to be saying for sure. Wait probably 2 weeks and post again.
 
I have some updated pictures.

White leghorn:


EE:


RiR "pink":


I can't get good pictures of others.
They are 15 weeks old now.
Any rooster?
 
The leghorn is looking a little cockerel-ish, but the others appear to be pullets. Leghorn pullets do usually develop larger combs/wattles at an early age, though, so it could still be a pullet.
 
I just noticed "Pink" has more developed comb/waddles compared to my 7 other RiRs. I'm hoping she stays as Miss Pink and does not become Mister Pink.
I have some pictures below. What do you think?
Note: they are 16 weeks now.

Pink:



Other RiRs:



Thanks.
