Sebrights and D'uccle 6 weeks now. Boys, girls? Lots of pics!

I think the d'uccle is a boy. I hatched a pile of them last year and none of my pullets had ANY pink until point of lay. They JUST now got pink at almost 6 months old.

Here is a pic around 8 weeks old of one of my pullets.

Good d'Uccles don't have much wattle anyway.
That comb and stance are pure roo. No doubt in my mind at all.

Good feet feathers though!! The mille fleur markings will come later. You should repost pics in a few more weeks!!

I say you have 3 roos.

Okay, after seeing how girly Featherz pullet is, I think you're right about all boys. I can't even keep the hope alive...

My D'uccle was 100% boy so fast I had my fingers crossed for Justanother Brooke. His waddles were red right away too. Also if you're right about the sebright I'm worried about mine.

Arggg!! That would be my luck to get 3 of 3 from the straight run banty bin at the feed store

I will hold out some hope though, because a whole bunch of people told me my Australorp was definitely a roo, and she is very girly now, just had a weird couple of weeks of fast development.

definitely all males....

I happen to have 2 mille fleur d'Uccles and 2 sebrights (1 golden 1 silver) that are around the same age as yours. I lucked out big time, only 1 roo! but my sebrights have no comb whatsoever

Want my luck instead? I have 2 Gold Sebrights and one I think is a Gold Sebright, but there is a lot more gold and not so much in the lacing department on the wing feathers. The other is most likely an OEG. I didn't even want Banties and I think I have 4 pullets. Why did I get them, you ask? Because I needed to buy chicks to make the minimum 6 and save a spraddle legged Silkie. Well. I have Banties I didn't want and the Silkie died. If they were roos... Yum - It's almost grillin' season!
