Four weeks old, and combs pinkening. Are my two favorites boys?!

Thanks so much! I'll be very upset if #1 is a boy. It may even touch off a second round of hatching. lol

My gut says she's a pullet, but what in the world do I know? These are my first chicks! Anyway, for better or for worse, you've given me some hope.

Thanks!

Thanks! I can't wait to see how they look when grown, even though I won't be keeping the roos.

Go with the gut. Mine has been right every time. I was right about both of my roos the first day I brought them home as a 1 day old chick. Their behavior and body language said it all. Good luck!

Thanks! He's a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana.

The mom of #1 was advertised as a Blue Ameraucana, but her color doesn't conform to the standard, so she's an EE. The mom of #2 is a Blue Sex Link. The guy I got her from said the cross was either Rhode Island Red Roo x Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, or Blue Copper Marans Roo x Barred Rock hen.
