UPDATED PICS 10wks::: Say it ain't so...(a.k.a. I think this is a cockerel) 😭

[ChickyCh00k]

I ordered 9 chicks from Mt. Healthy. 3 of the 5 breeds I ordered are sex-link or autosexing: CCL, Noir Marans, Blue Rock). I also ordered Olive Eggers and a white Leghorn.

They are now 6 weeks old.

I don't know anything about "eggers". One of the Olive Eggers is getting very pink in the comb and it's the only one that seems to have a pea comb (there's one other one that I *think has a pea comb, but it's not as obvious to me)

This is the baby in question:

And this is the the other one with what I think is a pea comb (which also looks a little pink...)
:

Please help!

I think pullets

The chick does seem to have some coloring going on, which is much too soon for a pullet I would think.

At the moment I am leaning cockerel, but you would get more accurate answers if you can update in a few weeks! Pretty chick!

Good grief, I hope you're right!

Oof. Thanks for the input. I'll update in a few more weeks...hopefully no one starts crowing!

I second probably cockerels but let's wait and see just in case

Both of them?!?!

 

[Rose the Legbar]

At 6 weeks, that’s a lot of color and even some wattle on both. The chick in the first 3 photos I believe is a cockerel. The other chick could go either way but i am also thinking cockerel

 

[FrostRanger]

Both of them?!?!

The first one is almost certainly a cockerel, the second one is likely a cockerel as well, but I am on the fence. They have some awfully pink combs for 6 weeks

Yes, they both do look pretty red/pink on their faces already. Too red to be an early maturing hen, because they don't mature that early.
