Unfortunately I don’t see any pulletsHopefully it’s the same one!! There are a couple pics of the same chick. The solid black(pic 5 & 6 side view). The one on the feeder is a different one (pics 1 & 3 also in 6 front view). The one that looks like all of the feathers aren’t fully in yet is another (pic 4 & 7). Solid light grey in pic 5. Mottled grey in pic 2.
I want the one on the feeder to be a pullet!!
Well rats! I’ve had 2 bad experiences with roosters so I’m not sure I want to try again! I will say that I saw 2 of them “challenging” each other and breast bumping already so I was kinda suspecting! But I was holding out hope that I’d get a coupe pullets. These were from my first time attempt at hatching with my broody bantam Cochin. She did so good too! She’s a little thing but kept everyone secure under her
It’s miserable my favorite chicks ended up being roosters. I only by sexed chicks from hatchery’s
The one on the feeder is one of the cockerel looking ones to meHopefully it’s the same one!! There are a couple pics of the same chick. The solid black(pic 5 & 6 side view).

and I think I see maybe 2-3 others.
) These chicks are almost as big as my broody girl and she hatched them but didn’t lay them!
Ok….so I’m totally convinced now! All cockerels!!I’m almost totally convinced that y’all are right….can we take one more look at 7 weeks old?!? I’m hoping against hope! And if I truly do have all cockerels, I’ll probably go the hatchery route next time. I just wanted to experience fresh hatched chicks from my broody girl and really figured I’d end up with at least half and half if not better! So here are a few more pics! (Don’t be mad!!
. Hatchery for me going forward! I wanted some colorful egg layers and I sure won’t be getting them this way! Lol
After I settled myself to the fact that all of these were cockerels, I had someone tell me that at least 1 looked like a pullet. I have 2 with very distinct cockerel signs but these 3 have me puzzled. Do y’all still think cockerel and Why? These 3 don’t really have waddles only combs so I’d like to know so I can identify in the future.
Ok…I was just double (or triple) checking since someone told me there might be one. So just the darker red comb on an EE indicates a cockerel?
