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

[jenniferlamar70]

I am new to having chickens. There 3 are all 11 weeks old and are potentially mixed breeds.
I would love to get your opinion about whether I have hens or roos! If anyone has thought on breed it would be
Interesting to know. They could be Wheaton, Orpingtons, or Americunas, or???

Thank you!

1 looks like a welsummer pullet. 2 and 3 look like easter eggers. The one in the middle looks like a pullet and the one on the bottom I can't see well enough.

I'm pretty sure you have a pullet. I had some silver laced wyandottes and the roosters developed pretty early. I could tell by 6 weeks.

Thanks I was hoping that would be the case

They all look like pullets to me. number 2 I believe is an easter egger. @junebuggena will know better.

Thank you! We were really hoping that they were all girls --- they free range a lot and are completely inseparable!!
If they wander apart, as soon as they realize someone is not a wing length away, they run like heck to each other! LOL
We can't have roosters in the city so it would be devastating if we had to split them up!!

Any thoughts on gender?

Welcome to BYC!

The silver laced Wyandotte is a cockerel... you can see male saddle feathers. Brown/red is a pullet. The black might be a pullet also, due to the absence of thin saddle feathers, but depends... how old is it?

Australorps look like pullets. I think the sussex is a pullet also, but a better pic of the head might help. Not sure about the photobomber in the first two pics.
