I agree with this list except I think that the one with no band is a pullet. Orange and brown I think are cockerals.(with the white one) Let me know if I'm right, okay?

Great pullet ratio! I can only hope for the same! Day 2!

Cheryl, not sure if you know this or not, but as soon as their chest feathers come in you can sex them 100%. Females get the salmon colored chest feathers and males feather in black or black/brown.

So the above looks correct? And yes you will have a ton of pullets...how many eggs did you get? when do they hatch? You can always have some of mine, I'll be selling some

Yep, that's what I think.

I have 10 wellies in my bator that I set yesterday.

And thanks, send me pics when they feather in completely and I might take a couple.

I am uncertain with the chick with no band and I am uncertain about the chick with the brown band. Can you post a couple more individual photos of these 2 chicks....eye and head? Thanks!
