Delaware chicks @ 6.5 wks

[Chick-N-Daddy]

The result is really not important as the general consensus on Mars is that Roosters are cool! But, lets have some fun. I have two Delaware chicks from the same hatchery with 95% sexing rate. I bought 1 Delaware pullet chick (with some other breeds), they sent 2 and one displays obviously redder wattles than the other, and has for a while; hence the name Roux.

Sorry, no good photos of feet/legs, but they're about the same on both birds anyway. Kanga is only slightly smaller than Roux. Most likely I've just got a pullet who blushes hard, and often.

Pay no attention to the geezer in the background. I have no idea who he is, and I've never seen him before in my life (and neither have you).

The Poll question is specific to Roux. Pretty sure Kanga is a pullet.

I would wait a few weeks. Both combs look orange yet which generally means pullets, but they are young yet.

When I see bright pink/red wattles at that age, I auto assume it's going to be a cockerel. Could be wrong as they are young, but that's usually how it turns out.
