I bought my first 4 chicks from a friend at work who sexed them for me and she said all 4 are girls. I think I'm in dire need of 2nd and 3rd opinions. I have pics at 3 weeks and pics I took yesterday at 11 weeks. Forgive me, this is my first time posting pics.
3 weeks upper left to right - Billie, Pearl, June, Etta
11 weeks - Billie, Etta, June and Pearl in back right corner
11 weeks - Pearl and June
They are supposedly 11 weeks old (they are also supposedly all female). I haven't heard any attempts to crow...all of them whistle a lot and honk a little bit like geese (especially Pearl) when food is coming. Pearl is the only one that does not have any green/purple iridescent feathers. All 4 have rear feathers that point toward the ground.
June is the one with the big spiky comb and huge wattles. But no crowing, pretty quiet out of the 4, mellow, lets the others eat first. If it continues to be quiet , it can stay. If not then it will go back to the farm and probably be seasoned and grilled.
I'm no chicken expert, but they look older than 11 weeks. I think they look 14 or 15 weeks. I'm going to wait until I see it sitting on an egg or until it wakes up the neighborhood. Just wanted to get some thoughts. I will definitely post the result so everyone can learn.
I'm hoping I will get to post - My "rooster" laid an egg! I've seen that a few times on here.
