Hello I am a new chicken owner and got 6 chicks last month. They are 6 weeks now. I am worried two of them may be roosters
The first one is a polish chick. Her crest is more spikey than rounded. She is pretty skittish with me but gets along great with the other chicks. I also noticed today that it looks like she is getting wattles. But They don't look red (yet). Im leaning towards rooster but holding out hope she is a hen.
The second one is a Lavender Orpington. I am less worried about her being a roo but her comb is the biggest out of all of them. But it is still pale/pink. So I am more hopeful that she is a hen. But i figured I would ask to give me peace of mind.
TIA!
