Here's a picture of someone's wheaten and blue wheaten chicks:

The top left , far right and very bottom are males. The rest appear to be females.

That's good news for me! Thanks!!!​

That "blue" is probably a lavender. Do you have a full size picture of it. It may also have a single comb.....

Jean, I'm pretty sure I see rows of bumps on the side too. Really hard to make out, but pretty sure it's a pea comb.​

My daughter's pet:

young pullet "Venus".....cant wait to see the eggs!

Okay here is what I ended up with on the 8 Wheaten/blue wheaten chicks. We're at 5 weeks.

Jean, can you confirm that these are all males? They are much darker than the other 4, though all do not have a visibly "male" comb yet. Is the feather color completely accurate in regards to the sex? One has black while the other three have blue in them. Does this mean it is wheaten and the others are BLUE wheaten?

Here are the ones I am assuming are female. Do any look appear to look like up and coming males to you?

Last, but not least...my absolute favorite...the "blue" chick you sent.

It is two-tone. Is that a guaranteed cockerel? If so,

What do you think?

Here the "blue" is with a lavender.

I think both lavenders are BOYS, too!

Can't tell much on my blacks yet, but I did get one male and one female on the silver.

Jean,
I held on to that questionable chick. It's 3 months and still questionable to me! Still has a much redder comb than my pullet, but not three big rows like my black cockerel from you. It's the first pic. The second is of the one I think is female. 2 totally different bodies... Any thoughts?

Julie,

In the first picture, the one in the back on the right looks like it is probably a wheaten female. Otherwise, I see a wheaten male in the back left and two blue wheaten males in the front.

The pullet pictures all look like pullets to me.

The last picture is definately a lavender and a blue, so only one lav.

The white bird at this point still looks girlie. The blues I can't tell yet what sex they are.

 

[crazy4eggsJulie]

Jean thanks! At least there is hope on the blue...

I have a second lavender besides the one and the blue in the photo. It just isn't always trying to get in the pics like that one.

Your birds are so gorgeous! I have to laugh at how much I love them...It really is silly!

Okay-changed cameras and here are the 3 blue wheatens with a closeup of their combs
#1 side

#1 comb

#2 side

#2 comb

#2 back

#3 body

#3 comb

#3 back

Is number 2 the one that is possibly female?


male Lavender

female????? lavender

 

[pips&peeps]

#2 is the one I thought may be a female, but upon closer inspection looks very male. I do think it looks like you have a boy and a girl on the lavs.
