Hey everyone!
So I have strong hunches but I’d love if someone with strong knowledge has any opinions.
Regardless of the outcomes, I am able to keep all cockerels where I’m at and honestly I’m hoping some of these are!!
1 & 2 - 5.5 week Columbian Wyandotte - hopeful 1 is cockerel and 2 is pullet. But I feel like they’ll both end up pullets.
3 & 4 - 5.5-6.5 week speckled Sussex. 4 has ALWAYS been bigger than 3. But 3’s base of its comb is honestly fairly red. Neither of them have much of a tail, but 3’s is much smaller than 4. - same as 1&2- hopeful they’re one of each, but I feel like they’re both pullets.
5- 5.5-6.5 week Easter Egger.. reminds me a lot of my starlight Egger but by this point she was already much darker. - my starlight Egger has a fairly red comb and peek a boo waddles early, and it stopped. I don’t know if this one will do the same.
6 & 7 - my suspected and hopeful appenzeller cockerels. They are only 3.5 weeks so still fairly early. I have a 3rd one but her bonnet is already a little crazy and not high and tight like a cockerels would be.
Just trying to get a gauge. I know it’s still early. But man I’m hoping for some Roos!
