Sexing Australorp and Barnevelder

[linsybird]

Both of these are almost 6 weeks old. I’m worried they are both cockerels because their wattles are pretty red. Their wattles are also bigger than the one sexed pullet I have (she is about a month older than them). What do you think?

Unfourtently I think your right,lotta darkness and comb and wattles to be that young, give it a few more weeks to be sure.

2x more probable cockerel than pullet

I would say your probably right... Sorry.

Darn, that makes almost half of my chickens boys! I have one more I suspect is a cockerel, but a little to young to be sure. I was really looking forward to the dark brown barnevelder eggs too

Sorry.. About 50% of chicks are male, so it makes sense.
