Gender of 8 & 9 week chicks

[ValerieJ]

Tried to add this to my original post at 6 weeks but no responses tells me it doesn’t show up anywhere. So here we go again. I’m sure about 3 of them but have a question about one, Absalom.

This is Absalom:

This is Hatter, a cockerel for sure:

This is Alice, a pullet for sure:

My question is what is Absalom

I forgot to add the 8 week chick. The lavenders are all 9 weeks, this list buff cockerel is 8 weeks, just for comparison.

I say cockerel, but I'm bad at sexing its not my specialty

That's what I think too and I'm also bad at it, but he doesn't act at all like the other two little cockerels.

My jersey giant acted like a pullet and was even squatting at 5 months, then one day it crowed.

That's when you know for sure.

I never say they're Cockerels until I hear that crow!

I just think Hatter and Pippi are obvious cockerels because of their bright red combs, waffles and their antics.
