This EE is 7 weeks old ....... Pullet or Roo?

 

[Lothiriel]

chickenlickin8, that looks like a cockerel. Too much red in the comb for a pullet at 7 weeks.

Dingo!! Oh my goodness! I needed a laugh too!

I've got 6 EE's about 4 weeks old, I'm going to give them about 2 more weeks and post pics for guesses. G'nite all.

Can anyone guess at my chicks? Illia you around? I have 4 EE's, from a local farm, 4 weeks old.

1. is the lightest, cream with orange speckles. She was a grey/pale yellow chick
2. is second lightest,orange and grey mostly
3. medium chick, very little orange.. mostly tans and browns
4. brown/black chick

I was thinking I lucked out and got all pullets with how they were filling in but then I read that most males begin showing with black feathering in on the chest and throat- which #4 is. #3 the most unremarkable chick also has slightly more comb development. All are pea-comb. Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!!

Yep, those two main ones are definite cockerels. The black and white one especially will be very pretty though.


LOVE that daddy rooster, a handsome fella, but no, he won't create sex-linked kids. He is indeed splash based though; a splash wildtype BBR (duckwing)

Ty but did you mean the 2 light ones or the 2 dark ones? I was thinking the 1 gray head cream with tan lacing in the wings is a hen??? that"s a rooster too?
he!! then they are all roosters.......................... argggggggggggggggg TY very much though for looking. I was praying the 1 at least was a hen and such a unique color with the cream and tan lacing whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks again Kim

The black and white boldly marked one and the dark reddish one are boys, I meant,


As for the recent EE pics shown, most of those are a wee bit young for me personally to sex, however Coco is a boy. Likely Freya too. Nice name btw.

OMG.................. poor rooster
But funny LMAO I wasn't expecting that last picture.......... wish you could have seen my face when I scrolled down 1 more............ i bet even I would have laughed at myself....but when ya gotta do it just do it

 

[Indigosands]

ah darn. Well I've suspected since Coco was 1 day old he was a roo so no big shock there esp. with the pics of the bird shown just above mine that turned into dinner lookin' just like him. LOL Freya I was starting to wonder about when I noticed her comb looking a bit more pronounced today. Only time will tell the story I suppose. I would like to keep one roo, hopefully one of them will be a good fit for the flock. Guess Freya might need a name change. Thanks, I love the name too.

I found the picture I was looking for on my computer of coco from the front:
