Just for fun…any guesses?

[K10road]

I have 3 babies that are almost 4 weeks old. One of them I know for sure is a pullet thanks to sex-linked genetics. The black and gold is offspring of a Cuckoo Maran hen and a buff Cochin bantam roo. She was solid black when she hatched, and she is getting prettier by the day. She has the most roo-like behavior, but her mom was like that as well as a baby.

The dirty looking white baby is offspring of a white leghorn hen and buff Cochin bantam roo. And the Easter egger is offspring of an Ameraucana hen and buff Cochin bantam roo. Any guesses on gender with those two? I know it’s still a bit early, but I definitely guessed with pretty good accuracy when my older chickens were this age, so it’s worth a shot.

I have my guesses…let’s hear yours!

getting them to line up for pictures was a joke…so hopefully these give an idea. And don’t worry, they don’t live outside yet. Today was actually their first field trip outside. They got to walk on grass for 5 whole minutes!

The stance of the white one is making me think a little cockerel, but that could be the leghorn in it so I can't wait to find out. Your Easter Egger is a cutie - I think it's a pullet. Your black and gold girl is going to be a stunner.

All pullets.

I'd say too soon to say for certain.

It's early, but they all look like pullets to me too.

Thanks guys!! My suspicion is 3 pullets…but we shall see. I can’t keep a Roo, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I have two brand new babies….I’ll attach pics here. They are obviously way too young to make any guesses, but I have my suspicions on them as well. One is Easter egger from same mom and dad as my other EE. The other (with black spots) is from a Sicilian buttercup hen and the buff Cochin bantam roo.

I love seeing these crosses. Congrats on the new ones too.

Do you have updated pictures of them?
