The most comonly asked question on BYC... What gender is he?

Ugh.. TSC didn't have sex-links, I'm going to keep looking They did have "pullets" but I don't trust that.

I got 7 pulletsfrom tractor supply. All were pullets. I think it depends on the TS. Some are good. Some are bad

My TSC chicks have all been super healthy, and well cared for. On the other hand, over a 3rd of my "pullets" have been cockerels, including the sex-links.(sex-link pullets.)

Ok, got new pics, I am seeing little wattles on my Wyandotte.

Still looks like a male.
I can't get a pic of my SLW cockerel at this age up.
Fairly similar.

Now, I have to convince my family that this needs to be done, I found a red star Avalible on August 24, should I try and do it? They also have legbars on the same date. Will that be to late to add one? Should I wait for TSC to have some?

 

[The Happster]

It's up to you really.
Let them see eachother before actually merging.
Legbars are nice.

 

[Chickenhappy8708]

Good, I will Probobly get one of those then, my family doesn't think I need another chicken. Truth be told don't either.

 

[The Happster]

You always need more chickens.
Show them how cool legbars look.
They have nice little crests.

 

[Chickenhappy8708]

Oh wait, my family won't pay 57$ for one pullet lol.

The red star is sold
