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

Hi, I'm new to the forum and it's my first time to post.

I have 4-10 week old chickens. I think I may have 2 cockerels ( cuckoo Maran and Welsummer) and 2 pullets (blue Wyandotte and Ameraucana) Can you confirm please?

The Maran(?) is already crowing, the Welsummer is not.

Thanks.

That 'Welsummer' is not a Welsummer. That's a mixed breed. And definitely a cockerel.
The Easter Egger and the Wyandotte are pullets.

I know it's early yet but I've already sexed my 3 week old welsummers, my olive eggers, and a few of my jubilee's. These 3 week old lf cochin have me guessing really hard. No differences between them really. A few are bigger and ones comb looks slightly bigger maybe. My first cochin so I don't even know what to watch for. Some educated guesses would be helpful. Thanks.

Too young to sex with any amount of certainty. No obvious cockerels yet.

Thanks that's what I figured. Any idea when they will start to look different?

By about 6 weeks, at the earliest, for most breeds.
