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

[HenHouse4Life]

I have 2 BLR wyandottes. Their combs are very different. 5 weeks. No redness or wattles in either.

Chick 1:

Chick 2:

I also have an australorp. 4 weeks old. Acts very pullet-like, but this comb and wattles has me worried. Haven't had an australorp chick before.

HI! If you could please post a side view of first 2...australorp looks like a young cockerel

Thank you!

They look like pullets right now but keep an eye on the top one with the larger comb. They're still quite young and changes can happen rapidly. Have a great day!

First time chicken keeper, here...
Anyone want to guess what my Silver Laced Wynadottes are? The only differences I see are the markings on their heads & their combs.

I also have 2 Black Australorps, but they are being super camera shy today. I'll have to post them later.
Thanks!!

Haha! We could have @ChickenLover200 run the third one if these two get too busy! She has been a really big help!!!

I purchased this chicken at Atwoods out of the "Laying Banded Pullets" bin along with the other 2 behind him/her. He/She is 6 weeks old and has a slightly larger comb than the others and is already getting wattles. I'm not sure if I got Leghorns or White Rocks but could you at least tell me if this one looks like its a rooster or a pullet?

I'm good at it. I've never been wrong but no it's not fool proof and doesn't do all breeds but orps usually pretty reliable.

Here you go. If you need a better pic or different angles let me know.
