Gender 9 week old Anconas

[Kdlevesque]

I have three sexed Ancona chicks that are nine weeks old and they don’t look like any of the other chicks I’ve ever had so I’m just curious, are they cockerels or pullets? They are looking very suspicious with all the redness but I have heard that they get their comb and wattles early similar to a leghorn. They are so tiny!

All look like pullets.

All look like pullets.

I hope so! I have a small flock with 14 and one of those is a rooster so it works out really good and I hope it stays that way.

 

[JedJackson]

I agree. They are pullets.

 

[Painted Calls]

All are pullets

All are pullets

Thank you! I’ve just never had any of the other ones that I’ve raised develop the wattles and combs so early but I’m used to buff orpingtons and Easter eggers.

They are beautiful
I'm looking to purchase some Ancona chicks this year looking for ones like yours with lots of white mottling.
Did you purchase from a Hatchery or Breeder?

I don't often keep light Mediterranean breeds, but those are all pullets.
