6-8 week olds, can you tell the sex yet?

[Pippin quail]

I agree

I will try to get more pictures later. But I think Olive and Hazel might be girls and actually the only boys are Ruby, Willow and Granite.

Oh and I really think Koko is a girl too.

Not the best pic, but Opal is the on the end closest to the camera.

Opal is a pullet!

Opal is a pullet!

Good thing, since she was guaranteed to be a pullet by the lady who sold her to me! Though she a thought Ruby might be too and he is clearly cockerel! Lol.

Alright, I have updated pictures of some of my chicks! Who aren't so much chicks anymore... Pardon any blurry pics, they were all excited I put up some lights for them before bed and were all getting their last drinks and snacks before they went to sleep. Just like kids.

First up, onyx. Pretty sure pullet. Her comb us getting pretty big and just starting to get some wattles, but she is a week or two older than my youngest ones, so hopefully not indicative that she's actually a he.


Next up, Koko. Looks like a for sure pullet to me.

After that we have Hazel. Still not 100% on her, but looking at her in comparison to some of the for sure boys, I would say pullet. She does have a big comb, but no wattles. And she's half salmon faverolles, which according to the lady I got them from, says get bigger combs early on, even the girls. apparently Hazel was the most cooperative for pictures, because she has the most!

Next is Olive, hard to tell apart from her sister. (Assuming they're both girls!) Again, look at her lack of wattles compared with Granite across from her. He is clearly a roo.

Next up is Willow. Looking like a cockerel now with those wattles.
Chickmonk I'm quite sure is a pullet still.


Next is Flower. She has a big comb, but she's also half salmon faverolles so I'm hoping that's why and she's not a boy too.


The former Ruby, now Reubin. CLEARLY a cockerel!
Along with granite, another clear boy.


The other two barred rocks and Opal I didn't get a new picture of because I know they're girls. I'll keep this updated if any of my hopeful pullets start getting wattles and crowing. But I would definitely be ok with just 3 boys in this batch! Wasn't fun butchering our last cockerels.

How old are they now (including Onyx)? Koko and Chickmonk appear to be your only pullets.

 

[Iluveggers]

I am thinking Hazel might be a pullet. Going against the crowd right now, lol.

The barred rocks (there's 3 but only one really shown here) and chickmonk/Koko are 10 weeks tomorrow. Ruben, Onyx and Opal are 10 weeks and the faverolles mixes (Hazel, Olive, Flower) plus Willow are 9 weeks.

That's what I like to hear! Be a rebel!

So I just looked at pictures of salmon faverolles pullets. I know mine aren't purebred, unfortunately, or it would be so much easier to tell! But I'm thinking most of you guys might be right on more cockerels. They do have some big combs. Though Ruby/Ruben is only a week or so older and his is WAY bigger and he's a salmon faverolles mix too, I believe. But I think maybe the lady I got them from was out to lunch... Time will tell I guess!
