Age and sex, please...

[Ashleyspeeps]

Someone dropped these 2 off at my work 6 weeks ago, there mother was hit by a car. So I have no clue what breed or sex they are, im hoping for hens.

Thanks for any help!

They look like they walk parrallel to the ground so it looks like you have pullets (hens).

Thanks!! I have a video of them fighting/playing today, is that something young hens do, for a pecking order or something??
Would you happen to know what breed they may be ?

 

[scriptkiddie]

Not sure, I've never been good with identifying breeds. About them fighting/playing, They may be trying to establish the pecking order or they may be bored. You might want to get a couple of watermelon rinds or some lettuce for them to peck at and see if that helps.

I'm not good at picking breeds but they are adorable!!

 

[scriptkiddie]

I agree... and fun too!

I'm no expert, but they appear to be Easter Eggers or Americanas. When you got them they looked about a week old, so they could be about 7 weeks old now. I'm bad at determining gender, at least until I get more experience. As to the "playing," I have seen hens kick and flap their wings like roosters at new comers, so they could still possibly be girls and are just establishing pecking order. JMO......

they are to young to tell gender and really to young to tell breed my guess would be a game breed
