Sexing pekin bantums

[Renee black]

Hi everyone,
These two are just under 4 weeks old. Can anyone sex them for me?

They are a little young yet but both have almost no combs and no colour to speak of in their combs. Boys tend to get a blush of pink on their slightly larger combs by around 4 weeks old, and by 6 weeks old their combs are noticeably bigger and redder as well as their well developed, red wattles. The girls combs stay colourless and small until around 10-12 weeks old and their wattles won't start sprouting until then either.

This was the difference between my pekin bantam chicks at a month old:
Young cockerel


Young pullet

Agreed, their a little young for it... but so far nothing is screaming cockerel.

 

[Renee black]

Oh, fingers crossed. Thankyou!

Yes a bit young, at this point there is not much development so they basically look like pullets but going off of feathering if I were to guess I'd say the top is a roo and the buff one a hen but all that could change in a week or two

Update us with new pictures in about 2 weeks and we'll be more confident in guessing!

Some more pics now they are older. I have no idea but thinking I have 1 of each?

 

[Painted Calls]

What is their age now?

They are turning out beautiful- I have no idea on genders- pea combs are more difficult to tell than single combs.

Are you sure they are pekin? I thought brahmas. If they are pekin I think they are pullets.
