looks like girl to me but I am not an expert.

More pic...any guesses?

the chick on the left has a bigger comb, might be a boy. wait 1 more week and post pics again, they are too young to be sure.

Too early to tell, at least by what I'm seeing. Try side pics in another week.

Chickiesmommy, looks like we're in the same boat! My little Pat the BCM hatched on St. Patrick's day, along with her bator-mate Lou, the American Bresse. Two weeks old today. Dying to know whether it's Patsy and Louise or Patrick and Lucifer.

I need a roo, and either of these are likely to be handsome fellas. But two roos might be a roo too many for my four hens.

Any guesses? Bonus points for guessing Lou's gender!






Promise to keep y'all posted on their development!

Ok, as of this morning (15 days old) little Pat has developed wattles. Thinking 90% chance of roo at this point.

Still holding out hope that little Lou the Bresse is a pullet.

they are too young to tell. my chicks with such tails at that age were girls.

 

[tworockchicken]

Thanks chickengr! Fingers crossed. They both had feathery little tails by 5 days. Little Pat sure does have a comb on her though. And as of this morning it's looking like wattles too. At just 15 days.

Time will tell!

That Marans' comb went from pulletish to definite cockerel overnight!

Seriously, x2! Bresse may still be a pullet...
