You will see a big difference in the combs, boys wattles also develop first.

is the difference the color?, brighter/ duller?

Absolutely, the pullets will be more of a skin color. The boys will be orangish, and thicker.

So it is exactly what it sounded like! Awesome!! I want one too!
I don't want to embarrass DH, so I won't tell all of Pennsylvania that my husband likes loofahs.

Nope, not a word....

Reyvaughn,

I see that you have Delawares. Are you one of the Delaware breeders listed on the ALBC site? I remember one in your area code. Do you sell chicks or hatching eggs? Delawares are on my list if I add a new breed this year.

No, I only have 3 pullets. My 4th died mysteriously and I didn't keep any cockerels. I should have. They are all hatchery stock anyways. I got them sexed and ended up with 2 boys.

Absolutely, the pullets will be more of a skin color.  The boys will be orangish, and thicker.

Ok so...

Girl, right? Leghorn?

Girl, too? Please? And btw, any idea what she might be? She's black except for that line of white running down her chest, and white on her 2nd or 3rd feathers on her wings.

It's OK. They're scratchy enough to be considered manly.

Yes, I have.  I got white pines.  Its been 15 years.  I got 100 seedlings.  I have a lot of beautiful white pines on the property!

I have a few friends that do landscaping, gardening, outdoorsy types.  They always buy from them with good results.

The deer have eaten all the white pines I planted.

I think you could sand wood with some of them

Ok, A leghorn, I have no idea. Leghorns come in a lot of colors, but I don't think it comes in barred??? It is easier to tell cockerels and pullets when you have a group. Just looking at these two I couldn't guarantee there sex. These could be mixes, same cross and colors are sex linked, I have no idea do you know the possible parents? The bottom picture is blurry so I can't say anything about the blacker one. The top one looks like a pullet, but again I can't be sure.
