Gotcha. Had never heard "gamey" when referring to looks before, only taste.

Help! All three are 10-12 weeks and I've been told to keep an eye on as possible Roos. Cookie is a Wellsummer, Sprinkles and Bambi are Wellsummer barnyard mixed sibs. Roos or pullets???

This is my 5 week Welsummer. Eyeliner, defined V on its head, and some lighter reddish coloring on its chest. I am unsure as the chest feathers are a bit speckled. Definitely heavier on the lighter tones, but there are some darker hints. Thank you for your
help!

Cookie has pullet coloring and no wattles. The other two are cockerels.

Thanks! That's what I was thinking.

I'm afraid to ask because I think I know the answer but are these two BO's cockerels? I can try to get better pics this evening.

First of all, Welcome to BYC! And second, I would think they are boys depending on their age. How old are they? I have never raised Orps but just the reddening makes me think yes.

Ok, let me join the guessing game. I have 8 - four week old chicks. All Cochin. 3 are for sure boys, 3 are for sure girls, but these two have me puzzled. I know - they are what they are and will be what they will be, but - it's fun to guess anyway.

What do you guys think?
