Chose Wrong Chicks???? NOW WHAT?? help!

[4hLuvers]

Hi everyone,

so a few weeks ago we bought two new chicks. Unfortunately the feed store only had 'assorted bantams' so we had to guess on breed and gender. Yesterday when i looked at them i could see an almost bald spot in the middle of their heads and it looks like a comb is growing. Does this for sure mean that they are males? If they are, what should we do with them? ( we only want/need pullets)

THANKS

If you can post some photos of your peeps someone on here may be able to help, but most likely if they're only a couple weeks old you'll need to wait a while longer to determine gender. But, the presence of a comb does NOT mean they're automatically males.

It's really hard to tell without pics. You should post them in the "What breed or genxer is this?" forum to get some opinions. If you haven't yet figured out the art of posing pics to this site, here's a helpful link.

Good luck!
