Welsummer Chicks sexing

[RingoldChick]

I bought 2 Welsummer Chicks 3 weeks ago. This is the only picture I have of them then.

The other pictures are from today. I think I have one cockerel and one pullet.

First one has a pink comb and wattles are starting to grow.

I had originally thought the one on the right was the cockerel..its colors are so vivid..but it has a yellow comb and no waddles yet.

What do you think?

This is supposed to be the eyes of the pullets, more pronounced eye shadows

I think you have one of each. The one is definitely a cockerel. I think the other is a pullet for two reasons: 1. Comb is still yellow with no wattles showing yet, and 2. Breast feathers appear uniformly salmon colored where I can already see flecks of black on the male.

I was sold a welsummer chick that turned out to be a male, and I *think* I can see the differences having had both. Good luck!

I'll have to take a look at the one I think is a pullet. I don't have a picture of its eyes.

My thoughts, too. Hoping! Thank you!

No!!! Dang! That is my fear.

Those are pullets

Both 100% pullets.
Welsummer pullets have reddish breasts while cockerels have black.
