Hey y'all. My girls šŸ¤ž are slightly over 7 weeks old. Is it too early to tell what gender they are?

Aww-- what a good looking little flock you have! šŸ¤— I have zero helpful information, just a comment.

The first picture of Sandy-- that's one really brought me so much joy!
I'm pretty sure that's the face that I make when I oversleep my alarm and suddenly jolt awake. I am absolutely certain this is the face I make when my husband makes plans for us and doesn't tell me until last minute and In my head, I'm listing everything that I have do to as I fume. šŸ˜†
So... your chicken Sandy may be my spirit animal. šŸ˜‚
Trust me when I say it was a surprise to me too! :lau

Hahahaha That's the look I got when I turned my camera to her view and she saw her beard that seemed to have popped up out of nowhere. šŸ¤£
 
My EE cockerel looked very pullet-like up until 8-9 weeks. He started getting new, shiny feathers coming in over his shoulders around that time. Heā€™s a red/gray though, not the white/grey pattern like your Daisy, so instead of red you might wind up with white wing bars or shoulder spots with your bird, if it turns out to be a cockerel. The comb is definitely a bit redder than the others and does have more distinct rows of peas, but eventually the girls also wind up with 3 rows, so not a definitive sign. :)

Thank you! I really hope they're all pullets. Unfortunately, I can't have a rooster and I'd be extremely sad to rehome any of them. I've grown pretty attached. lol
