Red Dorkings

[lknipfer]

These are two Red Dorking chicks, two weeks old. I know it's too young to really know, but are there any psychics out there that can tell me if they think they are the same sex or different? And if different, roos or pullets?

Any chick with tail feathers is a pullet and any chick without tail feathers are most likely roos.

Naturally I focused on their facial markings, etc and didn't get a single good shot of their butts! LOL

I'm not good at face/comb sexing 2 week old chicks. At this age it's best to look at the feathers.

For example in the last photo the chick at the back is a pullet because she has tail feathers

The two wing span pix are one from each chick

I have used this website to help.. I am not sure how accurate it is... I really haven't kept track..

According to this site, if the coloring on the head is "smudged" its a boy and if it has a defined V its usually a girl... But again I haven't tested it myself.
