My gut says #1 "may" be a girl #2 is a boy.

He is just so stinking cute!!!!

He is so funny. He is a great pet. He goes with me everywhere. He has had his picture taken more times that a super model. He thinks he is a super model.

Is it the chest color or the waddles?

On the second it is the comb and wattles, I am guessing they are 4 weeks old right?

They are 12 weeks.

They are 12 weeks.

They are a lot smaller than the other chickens I have that age.

Quote: 12 weeks? Wow, okay that really throws me. Did you hatch them? Who did you get them from? If they are that old then #1 is for sure a pullet. Still confused on #2

but would lean more towards pullet.

Deanna,

I'm no expert (I do have Barnies and hatched some myself last year though) but if I were to take a guess based on those pictures I would say both female. My males were much slower to feather out than the females and didn't feather out evenly...the tails were so slow to grow! That being said...I can't see the tail on #2 so if it's a lot shorter than the tail on #1 I change my guess to male for #2. Hope that helps!

Sorry I could not help you more. Can wait to see them grow up

They are from Greenfire. I got mixed chicks. They were healthy and great for 2 months. But I do have one Marans that still looks 2 weeks. Then some started growing really fast. A few slowed. I seperated them in case the larger weren't letting the others eat. I hope that helps.

I would be happy with one male and one female. Or 2 females. Just as long as they both aren't boys.
