Here is some more detailed info on BR sexing:

My guess is female because of the black wash on the legs.

Thanks! That my (hopeful) guess too...

I checked the tail feathers, they seem to be in a straightline...

 

[nancypo]

Sorry, I meant wing feathers are in a straight line...

Any ideas on age too? I thought they were a few days old, but they're really active, maybe 2 weeks???

Playing computer tag with my daughter... she obviously won

I would say a few days is correct...
Wish I could tell you pullet of roo, but I just don't know about them... I am new and don't have any BR.

I cant say for sure but I bought my "girls" pullet straight out...suppose to be...and they look same so I would say you have pullets...So I hope...because I was told girls...If not--I have 13 that are questionable...and was "told" pullets...no matter what..But was question about breed delivery on day of pick up..Know the had 10 male Black stars but I deff did not get them--b/c cannot have roos at my home...Sorry can't help much more...But my frined who has done this for several years helped me pick out my "girls" said everyone looked fine...but I did end up with an EE--that was not in the delivery at all--she was a stow-away..hope this helps...But seems my girls "dots" are closer and more pronounced than your pics...but I am not expert..first time but have studied for about a year before getting chicks....Sorry

And when I mean studied--you thought I was getting PHD--bought books---DVD's...watched programs...and talked--talked--talked to experts...I drove people crazy..Just way I am--..I did that when we bought our very first brand new car---took 9 months...but I wanted to be sure....LOL....Im no dummie...But still question myself...I mean its a GOD living creature I am responsible for them...I want to do best thing for them..Yes they give us eggs..but first and foremost they are pets and here to give comfort and companionship (that is what GOD said)..So I take this very important in my place in life...I have a 16 y old son...and I am to bring him up in the LORD and life...and all his animals--and he gets it...Sory to preach...but I am responsible...Am I wrong????

I'm sure either way it will work out in the end, and from the feet, I'm pretty sure it's a girl...

Dh finally figured out it wasn't going away and now even he has a favorite, lolololol. My kids think the only thing I do anymore is look at chicken stuff.
