Sexing Slarlight green egger

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.

Probably need to catch them in the act to know since both will lay brown eggs.

I agree, I believe she's a pullet.

I know this is an older thread, but any chance you have pics of your starlight hen? Do the pullets get a little pink in the comb and wattle at a younger age since it's a leghorn cross? I have one that is 4.5 ish weeks. It has a little pinkish in the comb and wattle area. I had another that I exchanged that I was certain was a boy. Even bigger comb at 2.5/3 weeks and pretty aggressive cockerel behavior. Now that I don't have that one to compare to, I'm questioning this one too

Female.

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

I am horrible at remembering to take my camera out. I do have a couple pics I think.


The starlight greens are the red birds. Yup a bit of pink/red at about 5-6 weeks old. The other 2 birds are prairie blue bells. They were still in my brooder coop so under 8 weeks for certain.

Do you have a pic of your bird in question?

You are welcome.
While still very young I do think that is a pullet. They are fun birds.
