Picking up today. Male or female?

Too young to tell

 

[Lemon-Drop]

I believe it’s too young to tell, but nothing screaming cockerel.

 

[Painted Calls]

Much too young to be more than 50% accurate.

Agreed with the other posters, you’ll just have to accept them as straight run.

Bummer! she tells me they are female, but that’s what I thought - too young to tell.

There's no way she knows what they are. She *thinks* she does.

Are they originally from a hatchery? If so, they could’ve been vent-sexed, which would mean they’re most likely pullets.

Agreed. Unless they’re from a hatchery or she DNA tested them then there’s no way to be sure. Good luck!

Yes, from hatchery. I pray that’s the case that they were vent-sexed. Hard to find where I live and she will allow me to buy 2. I didn’t want more than that. I already have 6 other chickens
