Looking for pics of SLW

[crayon]

I have 4 SLW and I am wondering if anyone has images they can post at around 5 weeks old? Mine all are starting to get red combs and at this age I am not sure if that is normal for a pullet or not. I had "ordered" 3 pullets and 1 cockerel.

Is there any other coloring characteristics of a pullet v's a cockerel?

Here you go! @ 5 and 7 weeks.

Thanks! Mine all look pretty much like yours- except I cant totally see your combs- they are more side views.

I thought I had read something out cockerels not having as much white? Do you know- or did I never read that?? I am not sure. Mine mostly look like Flossie.

Here are my SLW's both hens , we call them "the twins"

This is the two SLW chicks (up front) & one Bantam Cochin in the back hiding (later found out its a rooster

, and a mean one

The 3 of them plus mom

turning into beautiful young lady hens .

Hope this helps.
I have been wrong so many times about early sexing via comb or color that i give up

I will wait til we get a gargeled crow or an egg
