I am at a loss as to gender with these 2 BLRW still. They are 9 wks old this wk. Their behaivior is pretty much the same, which seems girly -but I am so unfamiliar with the breed and they are keeping all their secrets. What do you all think??

Oh Oh cyndi, those do look like boys. Do you just have the two?

My sundance babies are hatching. The first blue egg hatched, it is a yellow chick with some black in it. Not dry yet..so can't tell how much black.
And, a small egg hatched..black baby. And, the smallest egg is hatching, looks brown, and, another small egg, but is the largest of the three small ones is hatching, looks black. Can't really tell yet if there is any brown on those yet.

Going on just the wattles and tail angle, I would guess possibly boys, particularly on #2, BUT, the neck feathering doesn't quite support that, so if I were you, I would withhold judgement for another few weeks to a month. That's just me, but their coloring and shape so far are nice enough that I wouldn't jump the gun on them. Also, if their behavior around each other and you you seems girly (not a lot of chest bumping and just seeming girly in general), I would say go with that until definitively proven otherwise. Just my two cents.

cyndi, here is my OE..looking like a girl

There's Amy at the right, one of Red's babies.

She is starting to turn pink like yours cyndi.


Lisa, here is my Japanese..see that white coming on the head..and I thought just down the
neck, but it looks like it is going further down!

You can see it pretty good here.

She was scared and jumped up on my bantam Favorelle..Sweet Pea wondered what..
where did she go?


Pretty red, and some red wattles going on here. Will have to post this one on the Japanese
thread, for sex and color.

Posted my Japanese on the Japanese thread..first response back..it's a girl...

Now, we'll see what others say.

Here is what has hatched so far from sundance's eggs. That teeny tiny one is very teeny! I called DH in to take a look..he asks, is it alive? It was just laying down, resting. Then it popped it's head up when it heard him.

The yellowish one is a very interesting color. It came from a very pretty blue egg.

A tiny tot!!

The yellowish one also has feathered legs, but only 4 toes. I think it will be a splash. Can't
tell what the feathering is like yet. Still drying. Two more pipped.

I have a chick here from Sundance that looks like that yellow one and has feathered legs also. What color was that egg? If any of these chicks came from blue eggs I want to know! lol It looks like it will have a pea comb, def not a single comb, no ridges. Only one chick has a single comb here, they are all black except the one yellow, it has a slightly graycast to the torso so I was also wondering about it being a splash, I am wondering what the splash Leghorn/EE babies look like, if I have one in this batch here I want to keep it!
