Gender and Breed help

[camunoz0529]

Hi,

I took in these two chicks from a hatching program that was conducted at my school. I have no real information on them. Can anyone let me know if they are a pullet or cockerel and what breed they may be? I posted earlier but they were a bit too young, they are about 9 weeks old right now.

Thank you!
Cindy

The light one is definitely a cockerel. The darker one could be a cockerel, due to it’s waddle development.....

My best guess is that they are all pullets. Over two months old a rooster would have more wattle and comb development

I’m thinking pullets for now.

Possible cockerel on lighter chick (depending on rate of development) , and definite pullet on the red.

I'm thinking they're likely stunning mixed breeds.

Pullets

As for the breeds, the red one could be a Production Red or a New Hampshire Red
The white one could be a Columbian Rock, or a Deleware.

I suspect the are both crossbreds as most classroom chicks are and neither of them look like definitive pure breeds to me. As far as sex they look like a coin toss to me. They do have a lot of comb and wattle growth for 9 weeks, but not enough for me to say they are cockerels for certain.

agree with Gray Farms

I second the motion, they look like barn yard mix and could be both pullets or cockerels since they are mix might be too early to tell, 12 to 14 wks you’ll have a winner.

The white blackish one is a cockerel and the red one is a pullet.
I think the white blackish one is a mixed breed and the red
looks like a Production red.
