Sexing Color Pack Chick

[jaclynn_chan]

Can anyone give their opinion on whether they think this color pack chick is a pullet or not? Their comb seems large, their tail is stumpy and they're a little aggressive. Thanks for your input!

How old?

How old?

Oh sorry! About 5 weeks!

Looks pullety to me?

Those type of mixes can have a huge variety in parentage, appearance and development, so you can't really make a fair comparison between their characteristics and necessarily say the differences have anything to do with gender, kwim?

Agreed. Really hard to know with the mixes.

If it is from Jenks Hatchery (they "made up" the color pack hybrid - other places to also breed for it as well) they do a really, really good job of sexing.

Thanks! It's from Wilco. I actually bought it because my other lavender Orpington I bought died unexpectedly and I panic bought the oldest chick Wilco had so they'd be close in age!

We're in the Puget sound area so we're probably good to go! Thanks!

Thank you I have no idea what happened! She seemed perfectly fine, I left for work, came home and she had passed. The living sister was beside herself and didn't want me to put her down.
