Can anyone help me with sex of these or is it too soon? They are all 10-12+ weeks.

Thank you! We paid extra for "premium pullets" at tractor supply so I've been curious to see if any were misgendered.

The first one you're calling a speckled Sussex has yellow legs, so is not a pure Sussex. This one is a bit questionable, but I think it is a pullet.

The second picture, the Crevecouer, has white in its feathers, so I question if that one is purebred, too. Need to see a good shot of the comb on that one.

In the rest of the pictures, all seem to be pullets. The only one I'd question is the one that seems to be much younger. It looks like it is probably a Silkie cross, and may be a bit too young for accuracy, but so far is looking like a pullet.

To sum up, I think you most likely have all females.

All of them came from Tractor Supply. We got two speckled sussex in that batch, and they both look drastically different. That's what had me questioning.

The crevecoeur with black and white could be polish. They were in the same brooder together.

The younger one is only about 4-6 weeks old. I didn't realize I'd clicked on it she is a satin x silkie cross front a local breeder.

Thanks for your help!

You're welcome. Hope you get lots of eggs in spring.

This is our other "speckled sussex" that had me questioning since they look so different (legs, coloring, pattern). The black and white "crevecoeur". Then the grey one is the other crevecoeur. The crevecoeurs, spitzhaubens, and polish were all in one brooder, and the gut helping was not very knowledgeable.

Thanks! We already have 13 laying hens and get 10-11 a day, so we will be overloaded

I don’t mean any offense but if you got them from tractor supply don’t guess rare expensive breeds unless it says the breed on the bin or if you can go to the website of hatchery they buy from and look at the breeds like if it says “blue bantams”or something look on the site. And instead of guessing pure Sussex just base off characteristics and say what hybrid you think it mostly is. As for crevecoeur it’s most likely a polish. So besides that I would need a comb shot on the crevecoeur and the silkie mix looks too young but other than that none look like cockerels

Get out those egg cartons and start making some sales! People love fresh eggs from the farm or back yard.
