Hi! My babies are 6 weeks on the dot and after ending up with 4 out of 5 being roosters in my last batch of sexed pullets (Tractor Supply), I'm a little paranoid.
#1 is an EE and is the only one I'm really worried about, and I'm ~85% sure it's a boy so I'd love to be wrong. He's also my favorite, but after last time if he's the only roo I'll be satisfied atleast. The reds #2-4 are Starlight Green Eggers also 6 weeks and with them all being single/straight combs, I feel like their combs would be more developed by now If they were roos (Starlights are 1/4 Leghorn), but I've seen #2 & #3 have a bit of a stance and stumpy tails. #4 is the biggest and was the only one that didn't have tail feathers when they were 1-2 weeks but now its body looks much more like that of a filled out mature hen....plump and fluffy compared to the other 2, and with TSC's track record I wouldn't be super surprised if it's a different breed too....looks very much like my Cinnamon Queens. #2-4 all have mostly yellow combs still with some peachy pinkish coloring in the skin mostly at the base. Tell me what you think! Thanks!
