Female

Good!

Here we are at a little more than 13 weeks. Can you still confirm it's a hen? The wattles are way bigger than my other hens'.

Anybody?

Could someone be so kind as to look at the last picture I posted? Still a hen?

It looks like it. At 13 weeks, you would expect a roo to have wing bars (splatchy red coloring along the wing, not that uniform looking pattern)

Thank you. I started doubting because the other females born on the same day barely have any wattles. In addition, this chick is considerably larger than the other ones. However, no crowing or cocky behaviour.

Can anyone tell me if these are boys or girls? And are they Wellsummers?

Typically more info is needed like age and full body pic. But looks like hens from the pics provided.

Thank you, they were hatched on April 25th. Are they Wellsummers? I ordered one male from Cackle

I am not too familiar with the Welsummer breed specifications, but from the little I know they look like it. I couldn't tell you quality though. I do know when they lay, their eggs are a darker brown (not copper marans dark, but not light either) and typically have dark brown specks on them.

I do not know if your male is supposed to be pictured here, but none of those are roos. All are pullets. The male Welsummer will look very different from the pullets at this age!
