SS sexing!

[bbond]

I have two super de duper cute chicks. They’re about 5 or 6 wks now. At first i thought one was a roo because of the comb and wattles and now I think the other is because of its tail and I think the one with a comb is a pullet? I’ve never sexed them as chicks before. I read the older thread but didn’t really get a definitive answer from the older posts. I’ve included photos from today and from about a week ago

#2 is too young to tell gender, #1 is most likely a cockerel.

Thanks! That’s what I thought initially. They are the same age and the one without a comb is much smaller. I’m just curious if the tail is telling at all. They were straight run so Fx for at least one girl!

The tail doesn't tell anything. The large, red comb on chick #1 is what makes me think it's a cockerel.

Agreed

In addition to the larger comb, the white chest is a phase that the cockerels seem to have.
