Not Sure if You've Got a Pullet or a Cockerel? Click here! thread 3

I am wondering about the sex of my three buff Orpingtons. They are 15 weeks old. I am also wondering about one of my easter Eggers. It is 14 weeks old.

Sorry about the far away second photo of the easter Egger, I had her/him caught and set her down for a quick second photo and she skedaddled off with her pals.

Any advice would be great thanks!

All the Buff Orpingtons have very visible male saddle feathers. Can't see the Easter Egger well enough to see the feathering. Check it's back feathers. Broad and rounded tips mean pullet. Narrow and pointed mean cockerel.

Here we go... they are about a month old mix of blue, black, and black copper marans according to the breeder:

Chick 1 in front, chick 2 in back

The individual pics were taken a couple days earlier than the group pic. Chick 2's comb is definitely quite pink and wattles are coming in. I don't see any wattles yet on chick 1, but she has always been bigger with darker legs.

Chick 1 I can't say for sure, but chick 2 is easily a roo.

The buff Orps look male to me, but the EE looks female so far. I would expect a darker comb if she were male.

Happy 4th of July

Still hoping that my 11.5 wk old silkie is a female. Silkies are so much different than any other breed we've owned.
If male, at what age does the comb enlarge?

@Erin Valerie ,

These two are pullets

Thank you! That's wonderful

Pullet

 

[TheAngryEagleKiwi]

I've asked about this one earlier, but it's a bit older now and hopefully easier to tell the sex of (The photos aren't the best, sorry about that)
It's a Houdan, almost 9 weeks old on the pictures (If anyone could sex the dark cornish and Araucana that are visiable, it would a huge bonus aswell. The Araucana is the same age as the Houdan and the Cornish are about a week older than both of them):


Thanks beforehand

Yea, I thought it wouldn't be the best and unfortunately, I can't get any better photos for awhile (The chickens lives at my parent's farm, so I only see them when visiting)
I hope you're right about the other ones, though, especially since we've had bad luck with some other chickens turning out to be roos...

I see at least 2 Cornish cockerels. You don't have any Araucana. You've got an Easter Egger. Looks like a pullet from what I can see.
