Sexing chicks

[albodean]

Hi all,

Any ideas on the sex of these 2 chicks? They’re Light Sussex crosses, almost 8 weeks old. Two photos of each chick.

Thanks!

Thanks! What makes you think that?

At 8 weeks old they have small pale combs and wattles and I don’t see any pointy saddle feathers.

Yes almost definitely girls. Boys at that age would have much bigger and redder wattles and comb.

Look like pullets to me. Sure about that 8 weeks? Look older to me.

Yep hatched them myself, will be 8 weeks old this weekend. I know what you mean though, they’re in with a couple of legbars that are a week older and these ones have overtaken them in size.

Wow they sure are growing good then! Do you know what they are crossed with? I like their color with those cream colored patches.

No idea I’m afraid! I bought the eggs as pure breed Light Sussex but obviously they were mis sold.
