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

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
Summer



Starlight

Summer might be a Rose Comb Rhode Island White, might be a cockerel.
Bunny and Starlight could be black sexlink pullets.

I hatched one Amerucana chick this spring and now I don't know if it's a rooster or hen

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? (Snip) Can't help on the others, but don't let the BR concern you yet even if she is a little light. This was my BR at about the age of yours, folks all said roo b/c she's light, but she's a pullet--first egg this morning! Also had a RIR that was really upright and had thick legs, worried at one point she was a roo but thankfully not.

Check back in a couple of weeks if things are inconclusive now.

First looks like a cockerel. That's a big comb for 7 wks. I don't know anything about polish but the second one's wattles look pretty red so maybe cockerel. Last looks like a pullet.

Too early to tell much of anything. However the white one is iffy - that is a pretty big comb for only 6 weeks.

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.

1, 2, 5, and 8 are cockerels. 3, 4, 6, and 9 appear to be pullets. 7 is iffy but I'd lean towards cockerel.

Barred Rock and Leghorn are pullets, Polish is a cockerel.
