It’s the Hen or Roo Game! Speckled Sussex - 9 Weeks Old

[Kjm279]

Thinking these are ladies, but speckled Sussex seem to be a little less obvious than some other breeds?

Didn’t mean to post so soon! Left is Dizzy, right is Daizy.

I have 10 week old SS, straight run, 3 chicks. We have 1 male, 2Female. Due to the lack of wattle growth and not too obvious comb, I’d venture that yours are female. But, I’m still a novice with SS.

Pullets.

These are my first SS too. They’re so friendly and funny! I’d be said if either roos.
We got 12 chicks this time around

2 SS
2 Salmon Faverolle that are pullets
2 dark Brahma that are pullets
2 golden penciled Hamburg that I’m thinking are pullets, but I’m not sure how soon they’d get their Roo feathers, wattles, combs.
2 prairie bluebell eggers that I’m not sure about.
1 midnight majesty maran that is a pullet
1 black Sumatra that I’m not sure about.

7 of the chicks are 8 weeks. 5 are 9 weeks. None have obvious wattles or combs.
It feels a bit surreal to get 12 chicks that are all pullets so it makes me paranoid
