Swedish Flower - 3 Weeks Old

Mine are just shy of 6 weeks and really hoping for both hens but at least one! breeder had some obvious boys so she felt by comparison these were very likely pullets.
One is crested. They are both super sweet- smaller than I expected and better fliers than my other birds. Any thoughts? Hens?View attachment 2670982View attachment 2670983View attachment 2670985

Ahh, yours are adorable!! I am annew chicken mama, so I don’t know for sure, but I would guess you have 2 pullets. I say that because both of mine had big red combs and waddles coming in at 6 weeks. The breeder had like 8 left, so I took mine back to her and she let me take pullets, and at 6 weeks, you could clearly see which ones were boys and which were girls. Yours look like the girls to me.

Yay! Thank you for the reply! I think they look small for almost 6 weeks so I’m hoping to age is right! They are the sweetest though and almost completely feathered.

Oh they are so cute!!! Yeah I think definitely hens. My SFH rooster started having bright red in his comb and wattles started appearing out of no where at 6 weeks for him and my pullet the age as him looked like your two at 6weeks.

Oh I’m glad you were able to do that! Still a little sad I know but good idea reaching out to your breeder.
