Let me know what you think? Pics

[chickendude]

Here are a couple of pictures of my 4 week old RIR chicks. They were ordered from MM hatchery and are all pullets. But I can see on all of their legs what looks to be a start of a spur. Take a look and let me know what you think? I hope these are the correct pics. I will correct if they are wrong.

All chickens have these bumps. They are not necesarily a spur coming in.

Here is something that someone posted for me when I had 4 week olds. It worked for me in determining gender. Good luck.

According to UC Davis Veterinary Care Program.
2. Physical Characteristics (4-6 weeks of age)
a. Comb – The cockerels comb is medium size and pinkish, the pullets is small and yellowish.
b. Legs – The cockerel’s legs are sturdy and long, the pullets are finer and shorter.
c. Tail – The cockerel’s tail is stumpy and curved, the pullets is longer and straight.
d. Back – The cockerel has a thin line of stub feathers down the center of his back, the pullet has more advanced feathering along the center of her back.
e. Side of neck, flank and crop – The feathering in the cockerel in these areas is poorly advanced, the pullets feathering in these areas is well advanced.
f. Wing bows – In the cockerel the wing bows are bare, in pullets the wing bows are covered with small feathers.
