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

Looking at my Silver Laced Wyandotte. 4-5weeks (first 3 pictures) 5-6 weeks(last pictures) straight comb, had feathers on tail and wings when I got it around 1 week

Too young to be sure. I bet it's a pullet, but we won't know for sure for a couple more weeks.

I have 6, 6 1/2 week old Easter egger chicks. I bought them straight run, so I know they may all be males.
Sorry for the bad pictures, they didn't want to stand still.

both are cockerels

both cockerels, although the one in front is confusing... should be getting some patchy dark red male coloring to break up the even pattern, but think it's a male

Not sure without being able to see a side view.

First and last are pullets.

The combs on all of them look pale, but I think you have to wait a bit to be able to sex. White Araucana will be especially tricky, but so far the comb looks female (single ridge down the center). I see the uneven pattern on the one mix you mentioned, but I see similar coloring on the other but seems more of an all over pattern and both have pale combs, so think you have to wait. (It's possible all 3 are pullets.) Can you do update pics in a week?

We are curious about the gender of two of our chickens who are a little over 6 weeks. The first is an austrolorp and the second is a welsummer. We also have a buff orpington and two EEs that show up in some of the photos.

Thanks for looking

I have 7+wk Australorp and Welsummer. I am torn on my Lorp and your looks like a pullet in comparison. (Mine has good sized wattles). The Wellie is a pullet.

Thank you! That is exactly what I was thinking! I will go out today and get a picture or two of the black and gold one. It confuses me the most.
