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

I think pullets

any olive egger or easter egger ive had that turned out to be pullets pinked up early making me also think they were cockerels.
the olive eggers i had were. But the easter eggers with rose combs were pullets

Some EE/OE pullets do tend to pink up early, but their wattles don’t start to grow (in this instance, the chick in the first photo’s wattles are starting to hang).

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

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.

Thanks everyone. I was trying to prepare myself for one rooster, but not TWO.... They sent me 10 chicks (I ordered 9, and lost one CCL) and if 2 end up boys, that's super disappointing.

Ok they are nearly 10 weeks old now. Are we still leaning cockerel on either or both of these? They were both fairly pink in the comb at 6 weeks, but neither of them has gotten any pinker (in fact, at times, the "pinkness" almost goes away, depending on the lighting, etc., and even my sex-link and autosex pullets are getting some pink in the face occasionally). No crowing as of yet.

What thinkest thou now?

Pullets for both

Pullets for both

OMG! This makes me so, so happy!!! I was dreading having to make any sort of decision about getting rid of one (or both). Thank you for the good news!
