Alright, this is the only good one I got of her chest. Also, can anyone tell me if the bird in the far right is a cockerel or pullet? He/she has me stumped, as the other cockerels are very obvious.

Is it just me or does it take everyone a while to sex these guys? I have jubilees and gold laced and ill tell ya what I'm having a hard time with it and they're 5-6 weeks old!

I can't sex my own birds, but I usually have an easier time with other peoples..I think my vacillations is blocked by emotion. I want this bird to be a pullet or that bird to be a cockerel..etc. I think because the comb can be so tiny for so long it makes it hard. I have 6 chicks here I simply am not sure about. I can guess, but I am not positive until those cockerel saddle feathers show. Or they drop an egg..lol

What age do the saddle feathers usually start in?
