Welsummer cross babies

[HuntingChick14]

I have a couple of chicks that are almost 2 months old who share the same father (Welsummer) but one is crossed with a cuckoo maran and the other with a bantam lavender Easter egger. I think that Nugget (the brown one) is a little pullet, but I’m quite unsure about Pip (black and white). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The barred bird is a rooster, the buff/brown one is a pullet.

Agreed.... that cross produces sex linked birds. All males will be barred, all females won't be.

That makes so much sense! I had another chick with these guys too and it was all black and I was thinking it was a pullet. Unfortunately, she was the victim of a predator attack last week

Agreed. Pip is a cockerel
