Sexing 2 week old Bantams

[Crazi-chicken-lady]

Okay, I'm aware they are only 2 weeks old and hard to sex at this age but I thought I would ask and see your alls thoughts. I got 6 bantams at TS and they are assorted so I don't even what they are.

My guesses are:
#1 Easter egger
#2 Golden Sebright
#3 No clue! Just all white and clean legged (acts like a roo...pecks at the others)
#4 mille fleur
#5 silkie (always standing with head held high)
#6 didn't post a picture because I know he is for sure a roo


I think maybe #1 is a female but have no idea at this point. My luck they are probably all roos. Thoughts on male or female by their combs?? Go!! Thanks in advance

Welcome to BYC! These little cuties are too young to gender ID.

My guess would've been a white old english game bantam, maybe thats what yours is?

Seeing the whole chick (including legs), under natural or white light is most helpful. You may need to post better pics of number 3.

Post pics at 6 weeks for a gender ID. The Silkie will take longer.

1. OEGB
2. GL Sebright
3. I'm guessing Red Pyle OEGB
4. MF d'Uccle
5. Silkie

I'm thinking white old English as while. He's still all white! And very sassy pants! Lol I'm calling it a he for now but he fights with everyone and when I try and pick him up he acts like I'm killing him. He's a drama queen for sure!

Ok I will do that today and repost! For #1 I totally forgot about Old English...I used to have a chick that looked the same way. I'm excited now!

TSC just got Red Pyle OEG this year if your store orders from Townline Hatchery, which many do.
