It's time to play...Pullet or Roo?!!!

[ninabeast]

My kids are only 15 days today, and I know it's early to be asking, but this is my first time and I'm nervous. We bought our chicks as pullets, but I've read here how THAT can go. We will not be keeping any roos, so I'm hoping I'm right about this.

Here's Little Red, a Production Red. She's the smallest of the chicks, and significantly smaller than the other two PRs we have. She is also about 6-7 days behind in her feather development. She looks pullet-ish to me, but what do I know? (That's a rhetorical question...)

Here's a pic of one of our more "developed" girls as comparison...she's a good 30-40% larger.

Thanks for your input!

Early to tell, but I vote Pullet for both!!

I do not know but I have to ask... why do they always poop right before a photo?!

They do both look like pullets. There is no reddening on what little combs they have.

My guess is pullets.

Thanks! And PHEW. I guess the sexers were on their game that day. Some of the stories on here are nervous-making.

I know, right? They do it for video, as well. I swear, the Brahma (Tallulah) will hop off my leg before taking a big, sticky pudding poop. Which I REALLY appreciate.​
