Gender Reveal Party!

[HuskerHens18]

At least, I wish it was a party.

My brooder is getting full, soon it will be time for the chicks to be separated into the appropriate flocks, which consist of:

Main Flock
Rooster Flock
Delicate/Special/Handicapped Flock
Bantam Flock

In total I have about 40 chicks to sex, but I will not be doing them all at once some are still too young

I'm cleaning the brooders right now, as I go I'll snap a picture of a chick and upload it in the comments, just give me your best guess. I'm having a blast with it, no chicks will be sentenced to death, it's just for fun!!
(I've got a slow connection, so give me a moment to upload pics!)

First up! My little buddy who loves tummy rubs. Pretty sure this guy's obvious

I FORGOT TO SAY! Please feel free to drop some names that's always the best part!

Next one! This chick and the one I posted before are Buff Blue (or Blue Buff??) Orphingtons. The breeder gave me a light morph and a dark morph, am hopeful to make these two a breeding pair if the signs are holding true *fingers crossed*

Okay BEFORE ANYONE SCREAMS COCKERAL! This is a Super Blue, the lady that breeds these told me her hens grow very large, red combs. Does anything even possibly hint pullet on this? Or does it have a one way ticket to Rooster Flock? This little one was camera shy, these were the only pictures it would let me take.

Thank you! It's always my luck to get all roosters of a good egg laying breed
