6 week old EEs, again.

[QuebecChick]

Well, we were pretty unlucky our first time around as our twi chicks sold as pullets started crowing last week.

You guys were right when you sexed our brightly combed bird as a roo.

This time I am asking about three new chicks. 2 Have pea yellow combs and one has something that looks separated in two, pinkish.

Chick 1: small comb in one line, yellow in color. Feathers partridge like colouring.
Chick 2: bigger comb, very well defined pea row. Looks like a single row for now. This one is very curious.
Chick 3: Weird bomb decided in tho lines. Looks red on the picture but barely pink. Most skid dish of the bunch. Feathers blue and dark grey.

How old are they? I'm thinking pullets but it depends on the age.

They are a little over 6 weeks.

Chick 2 might be a boy then.

Chick three looks like a boy to me

Chick 3 is slow to feather. Chick 2 has the biggest comb but still yellow. Ill post other pics this weekend. Maybe it will be clearer then!

Just want to correct, they are 7 weeks ans a half. I miscounted.

They are coming out of the coop! Its the first time today! Im so excited! I should have good 8 week old pics this weekend

I had to share my joy. Thanks for reading

They are 8 weeks now.


Pic 1: This one is getting color on his shoulder. Is this the dreaded rooster red on the shoulders?

Pic 2: This is chick 1: Quickest chick to feather


Pic 3: Chick 3This is the same guy that has the colouring on his shoulders. His comb is in one line, and a little pink.

Pic 4: Chick 3 This is the little blue guy. Red red comb, separated in two. Smaller chick, slow to feather as you can see.
