Could I be this lucky?

[emsevers]

Ok I just hatched out some chicks. They are almost 2 weeks old now. I ended up with a total of 8. I have 4 buff orps and 4 BLRW's. One of them is very obviously a roo but the other 7 look nothing like him. All of their combs are tiny and their feathers are growing in at a lot slower rate. The little roo has tons of feathers and the comb is huge compared to the others. So could I be lucky enough to have 7 pullets or is it still to early to tell? I was also wondering if the BLRW chicks look like they are actually BLRW's. I've never had any before and I wanted to make sure that I got what I paid for.

This is the one that I'm positive is a roo.

Here are a couple of group shots so you can see the others.

Its too early to tell but its not impossible. I hatched 7 chicks over the winter and 6 were pullets.

BLRW will be harder to tell because they have a rose comb. I have never seen a blrw baby,but they look about right coloring I guess.


ETA At 8 weeks you should have a better idea on the sex.

Your BLRW chicks look like the right thing. I just got mine yesterday and they look like that but not feathered yet, just the red-head chipmunk color.
