Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

[The Happster]

Ok so my chicks are about 6.5 weeks old as of this last Sunday (when the pics are taken) (as of today they are 7 weeks old. any ideas on gender? I know Sparky is a cockerel, but am unsure if Squirt or Maverik is or not, along with Sparky they were late bloomers for there tail and body feathers and as you can see Squirt is still a little behind. the other 3 I feel like at this point are pullets, but i could be wrong. I bought them all from TSC as "Ameraucanas" (finding out later that they are Easter Eggers (which is fine because that's what I wanted originally)).

1. Here is Annabelle

5. Here is Squirt (another one that I am not sure on has been growing slower then the rest)
Squirt is very sweet and enjoys perching on my hand and arm (tries on the shoulder but try not to let her/him go on my shoulder)

6. Ziggy (very sweet loves to cuddle and sleep in my arms. I trust this one the most)

So here are all of them, let me know what you all think, I will be taking more pictures on this upcoming Sunday (been taking weekly pictures on Sundays) so if you want the next set of pictures let me know.

Anabelle, Dotty and Ziggy are female.
Maverick is going to have to wait. Nothing especially male yet, but I just get the feeling he's a boy.
Sparky is a cockerel, as you said.
Squirt is very likely a pullet.

Beautiful birds. Keep me updated.

You have two boys and two girls.
Lavender #1 is male.
The other is a pullet.
Black bird is a cockerel.
Barnyard mix with the copper on her neck is female.

That was my thoughts as well. Thank you luckily the family favorite is the copper necked one

What breed is that one?
Comb development is pullet.
Updates will be good.

Can anyone help me with Evangeline, she is an 15 week silkie and showing no vocal or behavioural signs of being a Roo however, she/he is considerably bigger than her sister and stands more upright. Can anyone help me sex her? Thanks

My kids and I are new to raising chickens and have four 6-week-old chicks. I'm pretty sure two are pullets, but we use some help sexing these two. The first one, Pip, is an Australorp and the second one, Sweet Pea, is maybe an Easter Egger? (Also, is it weird that the Australorp doesn't have any tailfeathers yet?) Thanks for any help!

You have some pullets and some cockerels. The pictures above appear to be pullets. Good luck with your flock and have fun...

Both are pullets.
It's not abnormal for the Australorp not to have a complete tail. I'm sure it will grow in fast.
