Westholme Farmstead
In the Brooder
I hatched out four Golden Laced Wyandotte chicks. One cockerel made himself obvious at 4 weeks of age and has since found himself a great new home. The remaining three I assumed were female but in the last few days to a week I've started having doubts about their pullet status. None of them look anywhere near as much like cockerel as their brother I've already rehomed did 2 weeks ago. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
This is Dorothy. I've had my eye on this one for a little longer because of their thick legs but almost overnight this one went from having a completely flat flesh colored comb to what we have here. I'm feeling like it's a cockerel.
Up next we have Marigold.This one has dainty legs but the comb makes me wonder. Another cockerel?
The last remaining one is Chippy. I just realized that I don't have a full picture of her. This one is exceptionally dainty and I feel it's probably a pullet. It's also much more plainly feathered than the other two are.
What do you think?
