These 3 were born March 8th, I took these pics tonight (4/2/12)



So, what do I have here; how many boys and how many girls (or is it too soon to tell)?

It's awfully soon to be guessing, but just from those pictures I would say you have 2 possibly 3 boys. I think the only one that has a possibility of being a pullet is the chick on the far left.

They're combs look pretty small (sometimes indicating a pullet) since they are still young, I'd wait until they are a little older. Usually cockerels are the biggest cry babies also.. I agree with Peeka. Though I noticed cockerels like to stand taller (like regular roosters do) So I'm guessing the top left one (in the first few photos) is a cockerel.

I don't know much about chickens.....yet....

I did wonder if it was too soon to tell..... Thanks for the guesses though.

They are fun to watch grow

Post pics again when they are about 8 wks. We might be able to tell then.

I can do that.


I had fun tonight getting pics of them all. (I posted a lot of them

)


I want to see how they change as they grow. It is cool to see what turns into what.
