8 weeks... what be the genders?

[Quaicken108]

How many Barnevelders have you raised?

2! (I know you weren’t asking me) Glad to see that others have this breed! I feel like it’s so underrated.

Yes, they’re so gorgeous!

Yes, they’re so gorgeous!

I just did a quick read up on this breed and they are very lovely!!! I take back that SHE had a suspicious butt.

Oh, ok!

Wow, you've got a really beautiful flock - every single one so different! Voted all pullets, tho really not so sure about Samantha (feathers still look pullet-ish to my inexperienced eye, but might be too early to judge). Fingers crossed for pullet, if you can't keep roos.

I can’t keep roosters... so it wouldn’t be my favorite is “Samantha” was a cockerel... but I guess I’ll have to wait and see!

Ok! Finally 8 weeks.
I have 7, 8 week old, chicks that I’m hoping you could give your best guess on gender. I’m pretty sure most of them are girls, but I might be wrong, and there’s a few I’m keeping an eye on. The ones I know are girls are a bit more for reference. Ok, let the guessing begin!


Safaia, Sapphire Gem. Girl

2. Cupcake, Buff Brahma. Not so sure of gender, as Brahmas mature later then other breeds. View attachment 2641156View attachment 2641157View attachment 2641160

3. Luna, Welsummer. Pretty sure girl? (Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry)

4. Vanelope, Speckled Sussex. Girl? (Always been a bit smaller then the others)

5. Arietty, the Barnevelder. Couldn’t really get good pictures, but I think girl.

6. Cornflower the Barred Rock (more not very good

7. Ok, the one I most think might be a cockerel, and is the most confusing for me. Samantha, who might be a Sam. Sam is a Starlight Green Egger.

Well! Let me know what you think! All of them were supposed to be girls (sexed by the hatchery) but I know that’s not always accurate.

And thanks to those that helped me when I asked at 4,5,6,7, and hopefully 8 weeks!

I see all pullets.
