[TattooedChicks]

Just ny experience- at six weeks old, mine still have zero comb or even pink development. I'd say any that early is a very strong indicator. I think I saw on this thread something about the 10 week mark before hens start any development.

It will be interesting to see if they have the rose combs ??? I was hoping that some if the ones I order would be able to go to some 4H kids, but with straight combs that won't happen. Lucky I have a pair is Silvers and a Trio of Citrons . Looks like I'll be sharing some of their chicks ! Not what I had planned

Hi! I have 5 sebrights they are all about 5 weeks now. Does any red in the comb mean they are cockerels or do the pullets combs start to go red around this age as well? How about size? 2 are quite a bit larger than three of them could that mean I have 2 cockerels and 3 pullets?
That is my ideal situation. I would like to sell a pair and keep 2 hens and a rooster!

Hi Mrsdm, I have one Sebright 5 weeks old. No red at all, not much comb at all. Do you have pics?

Any Sebright people around? Here's my only Sebright at 6 weeks. I actually was hoping for a cockerel, any possibility left?

There is a little comb and wattles now. And is this one ever feisty...challenges everyone no matter what size, and doesn't back down.
BTW I couldn't find this thread with 'search' but it was there under my 'watched threads.'

It looks like a pullet to me. There's really no comb development yet. My Sebright (Trouble) has that same attitude. She lays eggs & even went broody, so a confirmed female, but she's very feisty & talkative.

My Sebright (Trouble) has that same attitude.

She keeps up with her big sisters of the same age....guess who's the boss, lol...

Oh how I like that photo!!! The Sebright is the one in charge & she has her 2 big enforcers for muscle.

They have grumpy little faces too. Were you being stingy with the mealworms? Were they trying to make you an offer you can't refuse?

This is my Weezer. I am brand new to chickens, but I think he is so very handsome!

My Sebright, Moonshine, is now 23 weeks old. She began laying 3 weeks ago, and has given us 16 tiny eggs! She's my only Sebright, I wish I had more just like her!!!
I just went out to check on her, she's on the nest....this will be 7 eggs in 7 days!!
Ps Does anyone in SW MO vicinity have a Sebright cockerel or young rooster they want to part with?
