Hoping all Pullets.. Almost 7 weeks old. Thoughts?

[drthomcheese]

Five babies I am hoping are girls, were purchased from Rural King on 11/22.

They were listed as:

1. Sapphire Gem
2. Golden Comet
3. Silver Laced Wyandotte
4. Cinnamon Queen
5. Sapphire Gem

It's a bit early, I'd post another set in a week or two. I see wattles on at least three (1,3,5), but that doesn't always mean boy. Some early maturing females will give a little pop of wattle showing. Comparing these to some in two weeks should give a more definitive answer.

All are definitely pullets. The Wyandotte is the only bird who isn't sexlinked meaning that if your other birds were cockerels they would have different patterns or be different colors entirely. Your Wyandotte is a pullet due to her small comb and wattles along with a lacking of white shoulder patches

YAY!! This is great news.. So far I have had good luck with Rural King but the reassurance makes me feel better.

I'm very inexperienced, but leaning towards pullet for 1-4... unsure about #5. My Blue Rock (which I think is the same as a Sapphire Gem) hen in my profile pic has a large comb and it came in early for her as a chick and caused me some unnecesary worry.
