Do we have the right breeds and sex?

[Painted Calls]

Just looked at all the pics. The ones with red are RIR and look to be pullets for now. Update us for a more accurate gender ID in a few weeks.

Also, welcome to BYC!

2 weeks later. The cinnamon queen coloring seems to match the ones from TSC/ Hoover’s Hatchery site better so I’m thinking these are indeed CQs.

#1 CQ- Smaller comb and wattles

#2 CQ- Bigger comb and wattles which throws me in for a loop because I thought CQs are autosexing at birth?

#3 RIR- Barely any color on the small comb or wattles

#4 Brown Leghorn?

I’ve miscalculated their age. They are at almost 8-9 weeks old today.

All are pullets and breeds look to be correct as long as the "Brown Leghorn" develops white earlobes

At what age do the colours start showing for earlobes?

It always seems to get more obvious as they reach sexual maturity. I'd say between 12-16 weeks!

This makes me so happy! Thank you!! Now we wait for the silkie….it might be a while.

The wattles on my one CQ is bigger than the rest. Still a pullet? Crossing my fingers because she is my favorite one but oh her curiosity and ginormous wattles confuse me sometimes. No saddle feathers.

All are beautiful pullets! Can you get some full-body pictures of the Brown Leghorn/Welsummer to see what breed?
