Am I a boy or a girl???

I think the answer to the question you didn't ask, but that I think I hear in there somewhere; and that I mentioned in your other post on these two is:

They have two different types of combs.
One has a pea comb (I believe), the other has a single comb, that is why they look different.

Let me add to what I said in your other post:

I just took a look at your pic’s again and noticed that, on the one who's legs can't be seen, there is a little bit of Yellow foot showing, which means that Neither one of them are likely to be EE's.

Although it's not unheard of for EE's to have yellow legs, they also do not exhibit other traits that an EE usually displays.

I know you stopped careing what breed they are but, I figured once your satisfied about the gender, you'll go back to it.

your right. They breed is a mix because the owner who gave them to me said that the chicks mom are rhod island red and the dad's breed is unknown but she said it looks like an EE because it has the features and bluish legs

One of our EE cockerals started crowing at 6 weeks old. We now have an 18 week old Silky cockeral who just started crowing. Both boys are from the same batch of day-olds that I ordered from McMurray Hatchery that arrived on May 14, 2007. Go figure....

As far as gender.. well, even with larger combs some can keep you guessing. I have a group of 18wkers, three of which have larger combs than the rest. Out of a pair of RIRs, one has no real comb to speak of, the other has a good sized one.

All are girls.

Enjoy your birds! Even if down the road you end up with a roo, you can rehome him. No use stressing about it now.

i dont get it. the owner said she is 100% sure i have a boy&girl but the site says they both are girls. I believe BYC but the owner says that ur lying(shes a retard)
AND i told her that BYC is 100%sure that they are both girls. I'm mad at her, but her parents said they are better than BYC. I'm confused but i think BYC is right. So I can relax. We are sure they are girls.(asking the site?)

Unless the owner is a chick sexing artist then she has no way of knowing. Sexing a chick is not something that just anyone can do. It's an art and a science.

edited to add: Even expert chick sexers get it wrong sometimes.
