Picked up Starlight Green Egger pullet chicks from TSC. I know it’s probably too early to tell, but these two seem to be the bossiest/rowdiest of the bunch. Very pushy. I wanted to see if there are any obvious physical traits of roos that I might me missing (dots on heads, combs, wing feathers, etc…? This is my first ever batch of chicks!) I live in a city neighborhood so I’ll have to rehome them if they’re boys. Hoping that asking the experts could save me some time! Photos of Chick 1 and Chick 2 attached!Thanks in advance!

Much too early. Post a update at six weeks.

Way to early. Try reposting at 4-8 weeks.

I figured, but then also figured might be worth a gamble! Will post an update down the road!

Chick update with the rest of the new flock added! Let me know what you think. Hoping they’re all pullets!

I’m no expert in fact I’m new to this like you are but from everything I’ve experienced, seen and read they all look like pullets to me

Everyone looks like a pullet for now. Darcy is the only one I'd think is suspicious.

I think you may be right on Darcy. He might be Mr. Darcy. Pics taken this morning - 10 days after the previous pictures, so he/she is about 6-7 weeks now. Thoughts? Would it be helpful to send a pic of his breed-mate? I got them on the same day from the same hatch.

He is looking a lot like a cock now. What do his flock mate look like?

Now I’m questioning. Might just need to wait a few more weeks but Darcy’s waddles are definitely coming in hot…
