6 week old ee's

A male with that color pattern genetics at that age would be likely forming dark breast feathers preparing to mature into a blackbreasted red type pattern. So this is likely a pullet.

Thanks everyone! I was told they were both pullets, but when I was holding this one today and noticed it's comb looked like it was a bit thick on the sides, I started to wonder.

Don't they grow so fast?! I'm shocked at how fast they've grown.

I say pullet - her little pea comb is finally making an appearance!

I'm going to have to say pullet. The tail to me doesn't look like it will start to get long curved feathers. Beautiful bird!

Are you SURE ?

I say pullet too. Our EE (Obama, named by DH just after the election) also had a very wide comb at a very young age. I thought for the longest time it would be a roo, but then when the other boys started really getting the big red combs and hers just sorta sat there not doing much, we figured she was a pullet. Her feathering has all come in and we're pretty darned confident on the gender now at 20 weeks.
