To early yet?

[GlitterKitty]

I am wondering the gender's of my 3 week old chicks (=

Emily Rose~

Lily~

Comet/Princess Yue~

All of them ^_^

Thanks!!

ETA: I also have a 13 week old Speckled Sussex cockeral that hasn't crowed yet... does that mean anything?

First one it would depend on the color if it is pure. It has a light colored breast feathers like a pullet, but some color variations the roo also has light colored breast feathers.

The other two must be silkies and I don't have any personal experience, but many people on here have waited 5+ months to figure out the sex of theirs.
As for the 13 week SS roo......If you see all the signs of him being a roo then I would not worry about him crowing. If he is still young, some take longer than others to learn how to crow. If he gets chased by a dominate roo then he will learn quickly that crowing is bad when the other roo is around.

Oh! I forgot to put the breeds in! The first one is a complete mix

And the last two are both Silkies. And yeah I have another dominate roo in the oen across from him so maybe he is just scaring him out of crowing

Emily Rose is a hen for sure!

Silkies - you'll have to wait awhile before you'll know their gender. I "Had" a Buff Silkie and I didn't know it's gender until 4 months, and even then it was really hard to tell!

Yes, too early for an accurate guess.

Too early for me to guess....(maybe it's just me) but I wanted to say they are so pretty.....I love those feathery legs.......
