The combs are changing....guess again?? Pic Heavy

[ctcasper]

Okay. so some of these are definately roosters. Here are a few I think are roos. There is some variation in colors because some were taken outside and some inside, but I was going mostly by comb and wattle size. Any input would be appreciated. The ones i marked as roos combs and wattles have grown a lot in the last week. Also, I did'nt take one pic of each so their may be duplicates. Thanks for any input.

There were a few that I thought were hens that I had a hard time getting pics of, also they seemed to want to be outside in the run more....

 

[ctcasper]

One last thing, are they too young to have scraps of vegetables and things...... and does putting a band around their leg to mark them hurt them at all?

 

[arwmommy]

Can you remind us how old they are? That makes a difference!

 

[ctcasper]

They are suppose to be about 9 weeks old, hatched on Feb. 11

either you have all boy or all girls IMO

 

[tx_dane_mom]

Have you posted these guys before? It looks like they are all male w/*maybe* #5 being female if *any* of them are.

 

[ctcasper]

Yeah I have posted them before, I was just holding out hope that I had a few hens in the bunch, I just hate this game of wait and see.

I don't know, they look like roos to me. My girls at 9 weeks didn't have wattles at all. I really really hope I'm wrong though.

I guess I will be going to the sales barn with a check at the end of the month and buying me a few that I know what they will be....now all I want is one or two out of the bunch to be hens so I can hatch some more next year
