Sexing Slarlight green egger

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I think they might be a bit too young for a 100% positive gender ID but if they were sexed pullets, they likely are.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Sorry I am not familiar with them. Hatcheries tend to come up with their own hybrids for marketing.

For some reason I thought sge were bred to be sexable at hatch. Maybe not.

I’m not sure I tried to google sexing them didn’t find much since they are hybrids.

So out of the four this is the only one I’m ? if it’s a cockerel. Comb and waddle are larger than the rest and has longer tail feathers. Any help would be appreciated.

Female.

Mine just started laying a couple weeks ago. Being a Leghorn cross they have got the big combs.

That's the one I suspected before because it had a different coloring than the other three, but given the age and the shape of the saddle feathers I'd say I agree with @21hens-incharge

Sure do!



Starlight eggs are left and top. Center egg is prairie blue bell and right is from an Australorp 3 year old hen.

I am pleased so far. Cassie and Rita are giving me 5-6 eggs each a week.

They are so pretty!!! I’ve got two hens laying so far but am having a hard time figuring out which ones I think it’s a barred rock and australorp but not sure.
