Swedish Flower pullet or cockerel??

[Cpunchie]

Do their combs and wattles pink up early too?

I have my first four Swedish flower hens, five weeks old now and I am a total loss figuring them out! None of them have combs pinking up and I know I can’t be that lucky and all four are pullets, trying to figure out what other indicators to look for with this breed..

Did you end up with hens? I have 3 right now with pale combs at 4 weeks.

I ended up with two hens and I think two roosters, I gave one away before I was 100% sure.

The one I know was a boy had a small pale comb but he was larger than the others. Never did ‘act’ like a cockerel and his comb was small and pale for a long time. He was quite a bit larger than the others though. The other one I suspected was a boy had a larger comb, he had a crest so it was a bit hidden. He also started acting more assertive and flying at other cockerels that I had at the same time. I’m not totally sure if this one ended up being a boy or not.

Here are mine around 4 weeks, the two on the left were my pullets and the two on the right ended up boys. Looking back, I could see wattles forming on the boys at this age and not on the girls.

Thank you for the pictures! That is so helpful.
