So, firstly, I hatched these chicks, eight or nine of which are from the same hen, because said hen gave me 9 cockerels out of 9 eggs (laid consecutively!) and I wanted to know if it was a fluke or if she's just never going to have girls again. (original thread here) Normally I have great faith in my ability to sex six week old chicks (they're 6 and a half weeks), but I would like a second opinion on some of these guys. There are four definite roosters and two definite pullets. I have five more that I think are pullets but after getting 9 cockerels I'm afraid to dream.
(They've been raised by two hens who don't like humans so these are the best pictures I could get, sorry.)
I already believe the black one on the far left is a pullet; the silver, the black one in the middle, and the single-combed buff ones are the questioned ones here.
Black one is female, I'm nervous about the other one.
Buff ones in the back.
They were all gawking at a squirrel lol. The buff ones in this picture + the black one in the lower corner.
(Don't tell the hens that these aren't their biological offspring.)
Also, is this one double-laced?
Thank you in advance!
