Hi there!

I know I've posted about this before, but my chicks are now 6 weeks old and they were only 2 weeks then. We're hoping they are pullets!


So, once again, here are some pics of my chicks! :)

Georgie and Kitty are their names. (Tell me we didn't make a mistake by calling her "Georgie!")

Thank you so much!!

They all look female to me, but LB are hard to sex in my opinion.

They are BEAUTIFUL! I hope my little one ends up looking like yours. So far mine is mostly all white with a little black on the back of the neck.

Aw, thank you!!

I'm glad to hear you think they are female. :) I suppose we will wait and see... LOL

How old is your LB chick(s)? Ours looked white with a little black for several weeks before they got in their neck and tail feathers.

They grow so fast! We are keeping our light brahma whether it's a boy or girl. We bought Melody from the pullet bin, but will be Mango if a boy. We don't have any roosters yet, so if this is a rooster, we'd be just as happy. With Melody's back feathers so thick and fluffy, I'm thinking she's a girl at this point.

Yours look like pullets to me. At 8 weeks if they are boys, saddle feathers will grow in. It's quite noticeable.
