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

They hatched just before Easter so I would say 8 weeks old? I have been studying sex links and have seen very light pullets. But, I have also seen the same with the cockerels.

#1 and #2 look like roos. The rest look like pullets but it may be a little young to tell. I have no idea what mixes you have!

Technically it could go either way but since its comb is so small (way to small for a cockerel at 8 weeks) I would say pullet.

Hey guys! I am hoping you can help me figure out whether my new Silver Partridge Orpingtons chicks are roos or pullets. Like most people, I am hoping for mostly pullets. I think chick B looks like a roo, but I'm far from an expert. Thanks in advance.

To young to say for sure but B and C are looking suspicious.

Is the white and tan bird a cockerel?

That's a pullet. I have a very light RSL, too.

15-week silver laced wyandotte..really no comb or wattles, but recently noticed some green in hackle feathers...thoughts?

I believe you have a hen there.

These chicks's eggs were laid on Easter and they hatched on Tax Day, so I firmly believe they will lay golden eggs. Right? Some of them look kind of funny;they are a barnyard mix.

The potential fathers are: Black or Splash Isbars, A black Olive Egger that looked almost like an isbar, Jersey Giant, Cream Legbar, Barred Rock, Bielefelder, Silver Laced Cochin.

The Mamma's MIGHT be: Speckled Sussex, Silver or Gold laced Wendotte, White Rock, Barred Rock, Plymouth Rock, Cuckoo Marans, Australorp, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Buff Orpington, Bielefelder, Jersey Giant, Partridge or Golden Laced Cochin, Partridge Brahma, Golden Laced Pollish, Rhode Island Red, and some white and some red TSC chickens. Yes I have too many.

There were 24 but 14 were killed in a horrible chicken feeder accident. So any help you can give me with sexing these remaining 10 is very much appreciated. They are about 4 and 1/2 weeks here:

Here we go:

Chick number one:

And this is Chick number 2 (Scarf):




And here is chick number 3:

chick number 4:


chick number 5



chick number 6:



chick number 7: (this one has been really big from birth)



chick number 8:



and finally number 9 and 10: (these 2 are almost identical)




Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

1 and 2 are definitely cockerels.

Ok so I'm confident these aren't any type of fancy silkies but they're pets <3 and we quite like them- they're roughly a month old and one of the children said their combs were quite unusual and so we took photos of them. There appears to be A LOT of variation and I've made notes. What do you all think

I'm aware they're super young but wouldn't mind feedback on gender based just on these combs... Just entirely because I know nothing about silkies ...
