So, I got 2 chicks that are about 7 weeks old (they hatched around 28th of April) and 3 who I'm not 100% sure how old they are, but they are probably 1-2 weeks younger than the first 2.
We were hoping for some nice pullets to add to our flock, but unfortunately, I'm worried that most (if not all) of them are cockerels
Since I'm not 100% certain (but not far from), I decided to see what you guys think (I tried in the big thread a while ago with no luck, so I decided to just make my own):
1.Majros: (Bantam?) Polish mix and one of the older two and one I'm pretty certain is a cockerel (I think I've even heard him crow) very forward and is quick to investigate things:
2.Blända: Sibling/half sibling to the first one, used to think it may be a pullet, but now worried that it's also a cockerel, slightly more timid than it's sibling, but gotten braver:
3.Veiron (used to be named Vera): Buff laced Wyandotte and the largest of the younger three, almost certain it's a cockerel and have suspected it almost ever since I got him. This one is also pretty curious, but not as much as the other two:
4.Ellen: An Araucana (rumpless) is a bit more timid than the other three and most of the time stays in the background and let's the others investigate things:
5.Cecilia: Blue laced red Wyandotte, the smallest one of the younger chicks. She's probably the shyest one and would rather stay in the background (preferably hiding under or next to Veiron):
All of them together:
Thanks beforehand and sorry if the pictures aren't the best, these guys seems to be a bit camera shy
