Hi all,

I have 8 bantam orp chicks, any ideas on whether they are male or female? I thought some were pullets that seem to be developing red wattles now. :-(

Chick 1 (thinking boy, 4 weeks old)




Chick 2 "Kitty,"4 weeks old (body looks like a male to me but no comb or wattles to speak of)




Chick 3 "Flappy," 5 weeks old. Thought this was a pullet but seems to be getting slightly red wattles.






Chick 4, "Ninja," 5 weeks old. Thought this was a pullet also but getting wattles.



Chick 5, 5 weeks old. Body looks like a pullet but has the biggest comb and wattles of the group now.





Chick 6 "Paloma," 5 weeks, thinking pullet



Chick 7 "Snowball," 4 weeks, no idea. No red wattles or comb but was slow to feather out.




Chick 8, "Yeti," 5 weeks, thinking pullet

 
Oh they're all so cute, I don't know if their development is the same or different from LF but the ones at the bottom look similar to the ones I have that I know are pullets :) and the others do have darker combs and waddles than any of mine. But like I said im not overly confident what that means for these guys.
