Identifying 5 week old Millie Fluer D’uccle genders

[CaramelKittey]

Good afternoon!

I have four 5-week-old Millie fluer d’uccle chicks that I need help sexing. I’m not 100% on how to tell their genders however, I think I may have 3 pullets and 1 cockerel. If you have any ideas about their genders, please let me know! Name suggestions are welcome as well!




I can take more pictures if these are not good enough and/or if you need to see them from a different angle.

A and B look like cockerels for sure.
C could go either way.
D is a pullet.

Hi,

Thanks for the info! I had thought that A and C were pullets, and B and D were cockerels! Lol. Which ways do you use tell male and female apart? I was told that males had a pinkish and larger comb however, I read today that females can have larger combs too! I’m so confused.

Once again, thanks for the info!

I use comb growth. I've been breeding and raising these for 3 years, but I can still be wrong.

I only see pullets. I look at the color of the comb to tell what they are. A very red one would be a cockerel and pale pink is a pullet.

If you could also get some photos of tail and saddle feathers to tell a bit better.

Thank you! I will get some pictures of them from the side. I hear that it’s about 50/50 with each brood and they were a brood of 7. Thank you so much!

Do you mean that the other 3 are cockerels?
