I feel the camera seems to bring out the colour. Not great pics but I'll try again tomorrow for some more body shots

How old?  12-14 weeks?

Looks like a pullet to me...

Right on the money she's 13 weeks lol

Hello! Would love some help figuring out a few of our chicks... 4 weeks old as far as we know. All were sexed as pullets at ship date but I have some suspicions on a few... Might help to know our brooder is a pink plastic tub so it can throw some tint in the photos...

Wellie Nelson (the welsummer)- I'm 70% sure she's a pullet thanks to her initial coloring. She had the distinctive light fuzz w bold multi-line V and eyeliner at week 1 and now:


Picasso the EE- Yeah... we are thinking sadly, roo on this one? Im thinking I see the troublesome triple comb here at 4 weeks and the legs, posture, and behavior whisper roo to me. But then someone said salmon breast is a distinctively pullet coloring and picasso is otherwise pretty uniform coloring wise so now I doubt myself. thoughts?







Our other EE has smaller legs, and definite single comb, hoping pullet?






Then we have Woodstock the BO (no clue). This picture shows the posture as different than the norm. Woodstock is decently timid but loves my son and was attempting to keep balance in the photo so more erect posture than normal. Seems lower on the pecking order and low to ground stance most of the time:





And last but not least Flowers, the BR. Definitely showing more black than white but the most curious and friendly of the bunch which makes me worried. Also slower to feather but was also the runt of the bunch and got picked on a bit by the rest of the crew at first. So also, not sure on her/him. from the BR sexing thread I would guess pullet but not sure:





Any help would be sincerely appreciated! We'll need to rehome any roosters since our city code doesnt allow them. Figure better earlier than later. :/ Thank you for your time!!!

Picasso is suspicious. Everyone else looks female so far but it's still really early.

I'd say they are looking like females right now.

Too young to accurately sex. I'd watch Picasso, but post pictures in a few more weeks.

Hello I'm really hoping to find out the sex and possibly breed of 3 of our chicks. They are about 5-6 weeks old now and we can not have roosters in our town so I'm trying to stay ahead of the issue. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Please sex these 8 Ameraucana and 1 orpington. The numbers on the pictures were to keep me from duplicate chickens but you can use them too. Chickens born on August 6th and pictures taken yesterday.

















This is the orpington and the picture was taken a couple weeks ago. Looks like a rooster to me.


Thank you.
