I assume Saffron is a he?

In that case, I would not expect any feather-sexable or color-sexable chicks in your flock.

So yes, you are going to need to raise them until they are old enough to tell by combs or other means.

Thank you so much for the help.

An update! I forgot about this thread like I always do, but now saffron and pepper are 2 weeks old. I still think saffron is a Cockerel, but maybe I'm just paranoid. So far pepper looks like a pullet.

Saffron: this photo was taken on friday

Pepper yesterday

I'll have to keep saffron (if it's a Cockerel) anyway until the new chicks hatch on Halloween and until pepper, if she is a pullet, gets along with them. I can't have her alone.

Pea combs and I don't get along. But with them being the same age, it does seem like Saffron has a wider comb? But maybe that isn't a good indicator. I'm not good at this game yet, ha!

I wish I had them lol. Why do they have to be straight run 90% of the time, or 20 dollars a chick for female chicks
