8 weeks... what be the genders?

I think pullet, too!
...How did they react when you came back from Hawaii?

The chickens seemed happy to see us, though luckily the person taking care of them was very nice and gave them treats and cuddles.

Samantha is definitely a girl.

That does look to be a cockerel.

Oh no! Are you SURE?? Is there any chance she's a hen?? At all?

The color leaking through on the wings is a dead giveaway it's male.

I’m really sorry, but I’m 99% positive it’s a cockerel.

I’m really sorry. I know how hard it is to give away cockerels. I had the sweetest Cochin, but it was a boy. How many other chickens do you have?

Also, you may want to say “he” from now on.

I have 3 others but they really arent as sweet. He, i guess.. Was raised by himself since the other chick that i got with him died. He bonded very well to me and i am very well bonded with him. Today i held her in my arms for 30 minutes and she just slept and cuddled in to me
