Hi! I need help sexing my mottled houdans.

[Speakeasychicks]

I have 2 mottled houdans, hatched July 29th
One developed tail feathers before the other and the crest feathers are coming in different, but for the life of me I'm not sure which is which, any input is appreciated

it's too hard to tell at such a young age.. maybe post updated pictures in a few weeks. by the looks of it I don't see any cockerels yet, so fingers crossed

I would love if they were pullets, I hate the waiting game though, and its fun to guess! I'll keep posting updated photos, I noticed it's not a very common breed on here.

This is them about 10 days old....notice the tail feathers let the waiting begin....

yeah, I haven't seen much of them, they're really pretty birds! good luck

I’m surprised no one responded! I think your guess was correct. Was it? I have one 5 weeks old and guessing boy because it would be how things go for me - to have 4 Roos out of 4 chickens. I would need to get 20 chickens to end up with 2-3 girls. How are their personalities as they have grown?
