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

I can only think of one "heritage" farm that has all those breeds, and Silver Salmon Marans. They do claim to free-range, and most of the breeding pens are not covered, so it's entirely possible for chicks to be mixed. It's more of a hobby farm, rather than an actual breeder that knows what they are doing.

Oh ok. Well, it's in chilliwack. Either way... I keep reading that I can sex then at this age? What do you think?

We purchased pullets on these two, thoughts? 12-13 weeks old. ... trying to upload picture now. I thought I had it attached... OOOOPS!

Theoretically, males should have black chests and females should have 'salmon' or reddish brown chests. However, those rules may, or may not apply if there are other pattern genes at play.

Cockerel. The barring is too light for a female.

Darn it! That is what I suspected. He's trying to make noise in the morning, not quite a crow yet. What do you think about this Delaware? I will be really sad if I have two :-(

Need a better pic. And need to be able to enlarge.

The one in front is the one i'm curious about.
It's comb and wattle have been growing much faster than the one behind it and it's much more dominant.
They are both 3 1/2 months old in this picture. Buff Orpingtons.
Do I have a roo??

Looks like a pullet but I would keep an eye on it. A picture of the body would be more helpful.

These are my last two we need sexed. They came from TSC and not sure on the breed of the little one. The bigger one I think is a Rhode Island Red or cross. Also are these Roos or hens. They were supposed to be pullets and about 4 months old. Any thoughts?

Okay, hopefully this will work better.
