Thanks, I didn't think the red and white one was a Delaware cause he didn't look the same would you have an idea of what breed he might be?

Looks like Amber link to me

Please tell me this 3.5 week old isn't a rooster.

He's a full body photo. If it's a rooster my straight run ratio sucks. Out of 15 I've purchased so far,in 2 batches, I have 3 pullets. No one wants roosters at any age unless they are from fabulous blood lines.

. I know it's a risky but shoot. Culling is heart breaking and it's lost $.
60/40 or even 70/30 would be better than 20%
You think my bantam breeder pre sexed his straight run? I've noticed places like My pet chicken sexes theirs. I'll probably order from these people in the spring.

I have three Lavender Orpington chicks that I believe are right at a month old that I got from Chickenstock in NC. It is probably still too early to tell but I'm thinking two pullets (hopefully) and a cockerel. What does everyone else think?

1 & 3 wattles look pretty pink for a month or so old, so I agree with minihorse, but will go out on the limb and say #3 is a cockerel also. #2 a pullet.

it's a little young but I would say rooster with that swept back crest.

Yes, I will do my best. They look nearly the same so I'll probably just get a side view of all of them lol.

And now that I've taken these pictures I feel like I have two cockerels and a pullet (hopefully).
