Pullets or Cockerels?!?! 4 Lavendar Orpington 1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte...9 1/2 weeks old...

[Mexiontheloose]

So I have 5 chicks that are 9 1/2 weeks old now. Any guesses on whether they are cockerels or pullets??? I posted two pictures of each chick.

Chick #1 - Blue Laced Red Wyandotte - (pullet??)




Chick #2 (Lavendar Orpington)




Chick #3 (This one is the only one without a tail, and the tail feathers look to curl down right now)




Chick #4





Chick #5





Thanks!!

I would say 3 and 5 are girls. Rest are boys

Pullet, she's just rumpless.



Chick #4

Chick #5
Pullet

You should post them when they are a few weeks older too.

3 is iffy to me. Orps can be slow to mature and I feel this one could go either way.
5 is a pullet.
the rest are males.

I think that both three and five are pullets. The others are definitely males.

The BLR is a cockerel.

Cockerel. A pullet Wyandotte of this age would have a much paler comb, and be more feathered out.

Chick #2 (Lavendar Orpington)


Cockerel. Pullets don't have such large, red combs at 9 1/2 weeks.

Chick #3 (This one is the only one without a tail, and the tail feathers look to curl down right now)
Not sure. Comb isn't all that developed, but slow feathering is a trait of a cockerel.



Chick #4

Cockerel.



Chick #5


Pullet.


Thanks!!

I thought I'd update this post. All of the chicks turned out to be roosters! Just my luck, eh?!

Sorry to hear that! I hope you have better luck with the next batch you get.
