Six weeks old, what do we have here?

[Celticdragonfly]

So my chicks should be 6 weeks old today. They are not much interested in holding still for photos, sigh.

Here is Steggie, who should be a red sex link, and should be a pullet. I think she is.



Here is Cera, who is supposed to be an EE, and I'm pretty sure she's a pullet.




Here is our Tiny Terri, who yes, does seem to be a bantam cochin (NOT what we'd asked for), and yeah, I am getting more and more sure he's a cockerel.





And there's Tyra, a black australorp. In theory should be a pullet. I am not sure. Tail feathers are pointier, although Cera's were a week or so ago and she's grown nice rounded ones by now.



Commentary? Tagging @oldhenlikesdogs for experience with bantam cochins.

Tiny Terri and Tyra look to be cockerels and Cera and Steggie pullets

I'm honestly still thinking pullet on Tyra thus far.

Idk, I'm thinking Terri is really the only one I would be thinking cockerel at the moment. I'm leaning more towards pullet for the rest of them.

You bantam Cochin looks like a rooster. It does have feathered legs and yellow skin? I can't see the legs.

The rest look pullet.

Pretty feathered legs, yes. I believe yellow skin. In the morning I'll see if we can get a better pic of him.

Here's a close picture this morning of Terri's feathered legs.

Terri's your cockerel, the rest are pullets. Steggie looks like a production red, not a sex link.

He's so adorable. I adore my bantam Cochin roosters. They have such quirky little attitudes.

Can you get a face-on pic of the EE?

ETA and also of its legs?
