Golden Laced Sexing?

[karlsgoddess]

Hello all!

I just cannot seem to sex these golden laced chicks. I have my Brahmas and even my Cornish sexed but I need help on these! I have three chicks (all the same age, all the same size):

I am almost certain this is a boy. It has the reddest comb and the rump feathers are thin a graceful.



This "angel-winged" one has the thinnest comb and is pale. The rump feathers however, are only slightly blunter but I wonder if the wider color bands throw my visuals off. I suspect a girl.



Here is another pic with a better shot of the face:



For the last one, I'd say the comb is in between the other two for color but has the "bluntest" rump feathers, I think girl:


What do you all think?

How old are they? They all look like roosters if they are young.

 

[karlsgoddess]

They are over a month old. They were born around 4/10/13

They are all cockerels I believe, sorry.

Oh darn, the neighbors will love that, lol! May I ask how you both arrived to that conclusion? Is it their combs? Feathers? Both? Thanks!

Oh boy, those are 3 pretty little cockerels. You can easily tell by the rooster saddle feathers, and the comb is to red for a month old pullet.

At that age you can tell by looking at the hackle feathers. They get a sort of pin look to them, where they are sharper at the ends and the pullets hackle feathers have a more rounded look to them.

it's the amount of comb at this age. Pullets won't get that red until they're ready to lay, around 5 months.
