Welsummers

[Elitefarm]

Can you possibly label them so we know who is who but I definitely see at least one rooster and one pullet. Second picture has one of each I believe

Black chest is the cockerel.

Looks like one pullet, one cockerel

There are actually 8 of them I think but I just snapped a couple quick photos, I can try and get better/individual pictures later tonight or tomorrow thanks for all your help so far!

Cockerels have black feathers of their chests. Females, like the one above, have salmon colored feathers on theirs.

Welsummers are autosexing, so you can tell at hatch. Pullets have darker eyeliner and very dark, distinct "Vs" on the top of their heads. Males are much lighter.

So, yes! Add some pics!

Exactly this. I have two Welsummers and was wondering if I had a boy in the mix because at a week old one of them would attack my hand. I was told this is classic rooster behavior and I 100% have a male Welsummer. They both had distinct eyeliner and a defined “V” on the top of their head.

Turns out they are both female. If my phone wasn’t giving me any error messages about my photos, I’d post some for you. I also googled images of Welsummers and used them for comparison to my own.

2. is a good picture because of the lighting and full chest exposure - definitely a female. I can't tell from the others. You have to be careful because 2 of my homegrown roosters looked like they were getting salmon chests, but there were a few black feathers; eventually everything turned black. The head and combs on a few of those look roo-ish to me.

1,2 and 6 look like pullets the rest look to have black chests and more rooster combs.

1 2 and 6 look like pullets, though 7 is tricky.
