New to chickens. Breed and possible sex

[golddustmommy]

So I am completely new to chickens. We got ours at the local feed store on Sunday (June 11th). They had received them 2 weeks prior, so I am guessing they are about 3 weeks old now. I know it's still a bit young to determine sex, especially since this one doesn't seem to have much in the way of comb, and wattle is nonexistent. Though if you wanna take a guess, I wont be upset! Which is why I included detailed pics. Sorry for the blur factor on some, this little bugger does NOT like to be held. He/she's a feisty fellow, and definitely seems to be highest on the pecking order, so I'm almost thinking we have a boy.

Mostly, I'm a little confused on the breed. They claimed to be Black Jersey Giants (I got 2 of them), and one is 95% black. But from what I can see in my research, no giants are black and white like this. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places though lol Anyway, I'm eager to learn all I can. TIA

@golddustmommy your first one looks like a Black Australorp and your second one looks like it could be a Red sex-link of some type, there are many verities: Red Star, Amber Link, Gold Star, Gold sex-link, ISA brown, ect.

Can you help me? I don't know how to post?! Lol what do you click on to post a new thread? I've been trying to figure out for awhile... thank you!

Go to whatever Forum you want (this is the "what breed or gender is it") and on the top it says "post new thread." Click on that. If you want to post photos, you have to drop them into the post...at least on the computer. I don't know on a phone, because I haven't used this site on a phone.

Could someone help me try and determine sex of our very cute sugarbear
She's definitely a fight picker as pictures to show but after doing some research on ee she's starting to look like a male. She's around 6/7weeks old

yep cockerel

Thank you!
We have noticed which you can now see in pictures these deep orange/red patches and that comb as I was doing research screamed cockerel but I was like maybe I'm overthinking things! But that comb seems to get bigger and redder by the day! And the tail just seemed to different than the pullet pictures I had seen.

This is the one we have who likes to battle the above one for pecking order. They say she/he is a Red Star. Also about 3 weeks. Is it true they are faster developers in general? I know they lay earlier, but I was a little concerned by the comb and wattle development lol
