Yes, at 8 weeks, that's a pullet. Doesn't look like a pea comb, so you may be getting white/beige eggs from this one.The lady at the farm I got the white one from says its a mix of her leghorn and ameracauna. The golds are 6 weeks and the white is 8 weeks. here's some better pics:

Oh, you've got to give Jimmy a chance to grow up before you can see his temperament Right now he's the equivalent of a 12 yr old boy- a lot of growing yet to do and not entirely in control of himself!(Oh, and the new pics show him to be 100% cockerel.)
I would say both little Esmerelda and big Stretch are pullets. With a peas comb, the width of the comb is not as telling as how "tall" it is (how much it sticks up and shows in profile view). For both of these, the even pattern tells the sex.
Pickles is 5 weeks old, she developed faster than all the other chickens. She was the meanest chick, but now blends in quite nicely. I am a little concerned about the feather coloring behind her neck- hoping those burnt red brown patches are ok, and she is a girl.
Thanks for putting up with my posts...learning a lot about my chickens!
Look what hatched this week!
My broody hen stole some eggs. She was needed to hatch eggs for my daughter, so these orig eggs got put into the incubator. The silver is a pure Lav orp, the blacks are Lav orp x Cream Crested Legbars, and the yellows are Lav Orp x EEs. (no cheeks, though)
Can I call the OrpxCCLs Eatser Eggers? (Should lay greenish eggs, but look nothing like my reg EEs)
My new babies,
My husband just shook his head and said "more chicks," I said "but they were free with the feed I bought"
Oh well that's good to know, because her comb is flat. And while her neck is blackish her breast is really tan/salmon. So that is good.
Oh dang. Those are my barred rocks...same age as the EE. I have more pics of them at the thread for sexing barred rocks: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/643481/sexing-barred-rocks/520Not that you asked, but what is the barred/cuckoo chick? Seems to have a lot of white, which is more of a cockerel trait.
