One of each?

[Rarabri89]

Hello, just wondering what others think about the gender of my hens two new chicks? They are just under two weeks old. I think I have one of each. What do you think?

Way too young to tell still. Post again at around 8-12 weeks to be sure. Also, just for the record, Barred Rocks can have very big combs. I had a hen that a huge one even as a very young chick but she was a girl and that chick doesn’t look to have much white on it like most boys do but still too young to be sure.

Aww thank you! I think the black baby has much more developed comb and legs seems thicker and feet bigger.

Thanks, I hope they are both girls and this is giving me hope!
