Nice!

I was going to keep the splash partridge if it was a pullet, but alas, pretty sure it's a cockerel. I really don't need any right now, so decided to just let the entire batch go this time. Next broody will get BR eggs from Jill only, plus some Brahmas.

Hi,
I am giving up my excess partridge roos. They will be 6 weeks old on Friday. I can only keep 1. I am posting pics of 4 possible roos...though I'm hoping someone will make me happy and tell me one is a pullet. My 5th one is definitely a pullet. Ok...here we go...
Number #1

Brandy's chicks are hatching, two out, several more pipped. Pics are the first two, one dark, one very light.
ETA: As of 6 p.m., six chicks hatched and the last two eggs pipped!

Any help would be appreciated. The lady wants all my excess roosters for her 12 girls. I am giving them away this weekend.

If they have solid bright orange or solid black feathers on the shoulders and chest, it's a male. If the feathers in those places are patterned, they are pullets. Don't go by pink in the comb on these, just the patterned or solid feathers in those locations.

You have to wait until those feathers are in or you will make a mistake. The males can be late getting a pink comb, the girls early. But the feathers don't lie.

So from these pictures you can't tell at all?
