Any idea how to cull for quality birds at the 5-7 week stage? Or is it too darn early to make any guesses as to how they will turn out.

I have 14 (hopefully) pullets that are 4 weeks. I need to sell off 10 and keep 4 for my boys to show in 4H. There are a lot of variations in these young birds.

My boys are having a blast watching them and taking care of them!

This is Iris, one of four Aussies that I have. Of all my flock, these are my favorite breed. Beautiful, friendly, and excellent layers.

Here are my BAs. Penguin in front and Olive's butt in the back.


Penguin went broody and wouldn't quit so I gave her a couple of chicks to raise. The BR is definitely a pullet but I am concerned about Puffin, our BA chick.
What do you all think?
pullet or cockerel?
