BR Roosters or Hens?

[Joecola123]

Hi i would like to no what these BR chicks are they are about 6 weeks old i think they are both girls because of the comb and coloring but i would like to no what you think please reply.

sorry if the images are a little dark

They are definately feathered and colored like hens though the one has a large comb for her age. at this point I would say both hens though!

hmm the comb is suspiciously large for a 6 week old....

Joecola123.....I have a hatch that was 6 weeks old yesterday. My roos have much more comb than your pictures and are developing waddles already. Also, not sure you have anything to compare to, but my girls feathering is MUCH darker than my roos.

I think you have 2 hens!!

thanks so much i just have to hope for the best

I'll try to get some Pix of my 6 week old roos later and post to this.....will give you a point of comparison maybe

 

[Joecola123]

alright thanks that would be a big help

Due to the darker coloring I guess ladies, unless they are a rare-but-not-unprecedented exception to that rule.


ETA: Of course, this is not taking into consideration other characteristics i.e. leg wash, comb...
