Sex these delawares! Pic heavy

[GatorBunny]

My chicks are about 4.5 weeks old now. Supposed to be Delawares (but I got them at a feed store). Their names are Cornbread and Butterbean. Can you please let me know if these are pullets? We can't have a roo in the city.

Thanks.

Cute girly girls.

Nice! I've handled them a lot and they just hop right on me as soon as I sit down, I'd hate to have to trade them out for one who maybe wasn't socialized as well.

I have 2 Delawares that are turning out to both be pullets. One has a LOT of schmutz on the back and I thought maybe another roo, but she is still girlie in the feather shape and the comb at 17 weeks.
I think you have little ladies there.

Both are girls

Delawares are similar to barred rocks in the sense that they get large combs and wattles very early, and mine were pink in the face as young as 2 weeks old.
