9 week old Wellsummers

[debid]

What would I ever do w/o the smart, kind BYC people?! Thank you, everyone, so much!! I thought as much, but needed verification. I also remember someone on BYC saying that all of their chicks (of any breed) that turned out to be male developed tail feathers more slowly than their female counterparts. This cockerel had nearly NO tail feathers for quite some time. We took him back to the hatchery a week or so ago, but they wouldn't say that he's definitively male & for us to wait for this chick to "man up." I guess he's done just that in a few short days.

Thanks again!!

Do they guarantee accuracy or ???

Welsummer is a pullet. How old is the Marans?

They are both about 7 weeks

Probably a cockerel then with that much comb color and wattle showing already. If you look at the wings, is there any sign of the red patch showing?

I will look closer when I get home, but the well summer is a girl! I will be a happy girl
