Hatched June 14, 14 weeks ago.. Random breeds from the clutch my hen hid in the yard until I rehomed the rooster, one grandparent probably a Brahma, but the person I got the layer from bought random lots of hens, so their grand mother could have been anything, certainly at least one Americana or Easter egger in the lot. Any guesses as to pullets or roos, or is it too soon? I am seeing a lot of posturing, and one of these is crowing, not sure who. I assume it's too soon for eggs, but yesterday I got something that really looked like a first egg. There are two more that I couldn't get photos of. First is a group shot with mom for interest, the rest are numbered. Thanks for your expertise, I wasn't really ready for this.

1 and 5 are pullets. The rest are suspicious, but don't make any big decisions on rehoming/culling until you know for sure. I've been fooled so many times... now I won't make a call unless I hear crowing or see saddle feathers.
