Sexing Light Sussex

[Mrs. Light Sussex]

At what age can the Light Sussex breed be sexed?
I have 5 12-13 week old's and unless I ended up with 5 pullets, there still is no difference between between them, they all have nearly invisible combs and wattles.

Why not post a pic? Did you get them as pullets or straight run? The fact that they all look alike and have no combs or wattles is a good sign that they are pullets..

 

[Mrs. Light Sussex]

Straight run. Will get some pics later.
All pullets is bad, no next generation

Hi
Welcome to the light Sussex fraternity! what a great variety huh?you can tell the sex is because the feathers on the neck (the Hackle) on the female... the ends will be rounded. the ends of the Hackle feathers on the male will be pointed at the end . look there and you can tell who's what.
Best ,
Karen

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find someone willing to trade a cockerel for a pullet.

Look like all pullets to me.

 

[Mrs. Light Sussex]

Do we have a consensus here?
