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

[fur-mum]

These guys/gals are 4 weeks old. I figure it's too young for sex but breed would be nice too.

 

[Tlmcq]

I have a silkie and a polish chick that are both about 6-7 weeks old. I know these breeds are ridiculously difficult to sex but anyone have any guesses?

So cute...One in middle on bottom pic looks like a little lion

Hello all. I'm sure I will have to wait a little longer on this, but curious about these 4-5 week olds... 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes and 1 Ameraucana/EE...

Lighter GLW:

Darker GLW:

Ameraucana/EE (I'm no expert, but I'm sure EE?)

No profile closeup of that one. But here's some bodyshots.

Hoping for pullets
I understand if I have to wait - I'll be back in a few weeks to report! Thanks all!

You'll have to wait to know for sure. The first chick especially is a little suspicious but they're too young to say.

First chick might be EE. Does it have puffy cheeks? Not sure on second and third looks like a Speckled Sussex. Please post pictures when they are at least six to eight weeks old.

Hi all. Here I am with the Easter Egger guessing game again. not 100% fully feathered in but getting close and combs are definitely developing. Best guesses. thanx!!!

1.



Rosey comb, not huge just meh. shes super sweet though and the smartest of the bunch. loves being with me. Follows me everywhere and listens!!! LOVE HER!!!

2.

the comb on this one is not very big or red yet and a single row of peas. the colors on the wing feathers isnt orange or red its brown. so confused on this one.

3.



comb is THICK on this one and the redest as you can see. feathering real slow. kinda sure its a Roo but hes a wuss!!!!

4.



Rose comb, not as red as one above. not huge either but its there.

5.



Pale comb. not very big at all.

6.



no comb at all on this one. and no redness in the least. no tail either so.

7.



and my "barred rock" i picked this one out as a Roo. Another member suggested it may be a cockerel (which i wanted) or a black sexlink pullet. no redness in comb yet but seems it has a good amount of white? Not sure now so you tell me.

Thanks again everyone. ill update in a couple more weeks. just want to get an idea for now if we can. I love this community.

# 6 is your only potential Easter Egger pullet. 1 through 5 are all definitely males. The Barred Rock looks like a pullet for now.

Agree. And BSL pullets aren't barred, only the males are.
