CCL help with gender

[junior67]

I know they are auto sexing. These hatched within the last 24 hrs. I know 2 are cockerels, thought 3 were pullets but then questioned 2 when taking pictures of them. In the pics the 2 together I know are the boys. The pics with 3 are all the same group. Are they all girls??? They look to have a dark stripe but I see a head spot????

I believe your initial assessment is right, 2 boys and 3 girls. Here is a link to a thread where someone has a similar question about their chicks. The replies mention that girls also can have faint headspots.

I don’t personally have any experience with CCLs (yet) so all I can do is find you other references, but I hope it helps! Your chicks are adorable
