8weeks gender ?

[Chicksnmind]

To me this one is pullet. Am I right? Or can they still be a slow developing cockerel at 8 weeks?

The one below is still a cockerel right? At first I was sure as it developed faster than the others and it seemed more red but now it’s not as red.
The feathers are looking pointed a bit around the neck though.

They just ate at the buffet ..

The first one is a definite pullet. The second is very probably a cockerel, because of the comb and wattle size at such an early age.

So you were right. Good job.

2x Beautiful pullet

I think the first is a pullet and the other a cockerel based on the waddle development

Yay I’m really hoping the first one stays a pullet. My daughter really wants to keep that one. With them being half silkies I wasn’t sure how that effects the development since silkies are hard to sex.

I will get photos tomorrow of the other 3 8 weekers. Thanks

Here are my other birds. First is the comb of the black pullet above and the grey one that I will keep if it’s a female. I’m not sure what type of comb the black has ? but the grey looks like a single comb. I don’t think I’m keeping the silkie on the left.

Next are silkies. I think these two have different moms. I have a white silkie that is much smaller than my splash.

They are so close in color that’s it hard to tell them apart in my pictures unless they are next to each other.

Dark Grey/black Silkie 2

I’m not planning on keeping silkies or rooster. I went away out of town for two weeks and came back to this.

So my other silkie is hatching eggs . The person watching the chickens didn’t take them out. Another staggered hatch with 4 eggs. There were several more but I narrowed it down to what looked like the ones developing close to each other. I’m thinking they are about a week developed.

Guessing Silkie #1 = pullet & Silkie #2 = cockerel
They are all so CUTE! Silkies are not my "cup of tea" but the more pics I see of them, I'm wanting to try them. Orpingtons are my My Granddaughter got 2 White Silkie Cockerels from a breeder couple months ago ... Informed her she's got a pair

In agreement with the other posters. These birds are simply gorgeous!
