Thanks Junebuggena .. Ugh.. Just what I thought abt 2 weeks ago but was so hoping otherwise

would u happen to know the breeds of any of these?

 

[elfred]

I'd love to know the breed of this sweet chicken and my guess is that she is a pullet

So far looks like a sweet pullet.

Have you held them and looked at their wings. The wings will be a different shape. A girls wing will go in or have shorter feather near body. I believe there is a post on one of these pages about it. I found it very helpful at this young age. Even some pullets will have small spurs at this age.

I have read this only works with your standard chickens ( the wing test) . I have bantams .. It was a straight run. I thought I'd be good at picking out pullets but apparently not . Ha! Thanks for your comment
