Welcome to Backyard Chickens

They still too young to sex, but the first is looking like an early blooming cockerel. To be sure post more pictures in a few weeks.

Welsummers are an auto-sexing breed, meaning they are sexable at hatch.

This is the back of Chick #2.

Can you get a shot from above the second one so as to show the patterning as it goes down it's back?

Just posted a shot from above of Chick #2 that we just took tonight. Hope this helps. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the input everyone. Does anyone have any on the second chick that was born on 5/11?

Updated pictures of Piper that were taken on Monday at 5 weeks. Really confused about the chest feathers now.

Piper is a cockerel.

Piper is definitely a cockerel. I have a five-month old heifer named Piper.

He is definitely a cockerel, he has darker chest feathering because of it's gender.
