Still trying to confirm gender hatched June 26. Super Blue Egger

You are right. Mine are older. Let me look @ pics of them at 10 weeks, then.

ETA: The only pics I have are recent, and you can't really see how red their combs are.

Pics of the feathers with something dark behind them will help. I hope it's a pullet. I find these hybrids so hard to sex

You're so right! I went back and forth on my EEs a couple years ago and finally gave up and just waited until the darn things practically started crowing, although by then it was really obvious by the magnificent feathering.

Here are some attempts on getting the shape of saddle and neck. Neck first

More neck

More neck

Comb looks cockerel. Neck feathers look pullet.

Wish I had definitive answers.

Now back feathers saddle and area. Look for the single dark feather

If it is he, I will have to take a Xanex before I call the hatchery. This is number three since March. I ordered BLRW and got two GLW. Even sent a 6-week cockerel to replace the first one. I almost feel like it's intentional.

More tail feathers

From these pictures I do see male specific feathering. I think male feathering will start to become more noticeable over the next couple of weeks. Please post updated pictures after that period of time.

Maybe, at worst, it's just incompetence, but still... it's unprofessional and unacceptable. Very frustrating for you. Tell them if they don't get their act together and provide what you paid for, you are going to tell 2,000 of your best friends not to do business with them.
