White Leghorn chick sexing [ 6 to 8 week old ]

[EmmaRainboe]

Oh I didn't see the third page and MoonShiner picture !
My chick is in between the white one on the left (its comb is a little bigger) and looks the white one on the right (its wattles are not so big).
Are they all cockerels ?

These splash ones are two male and one female

I contacted the seller. She is ok for an exchange but she hasn't got chicks of the same age anymore. She's got 3 week old chick who can't be sexed. She suggested I call her back in 2 weeks. She will save a pullet for me.
Hope she won't say : who's calling ?

Here are pictures of today.
@moonshiner : in the tail feathers picture, the side ones are like arrows but the middle ones are rounded.

Thanks for your posts.
Cockerels are obvious to find in the picture above, though there are not white Leghorns, so there could be a difference in development, who knows.
Tomorrow I'll contact my seller and ask for an exchange.

The seller lives far away (and if she accepts any exchange ), so it won't be possible for me before the end of the week. The chick will be 1 week older.

If I clearly notice the comb getting red, I will drive those miles happily.
If not, I'll have to decide : a pullet or a cockerel with slow development ?

I hope you'll help me ! I will post a picture a day .

Of course we will help! See if you can get any pics from the seller, of potential replacements. That way you can post them here and we can try to steer you in the right direction before you make that drive.

Still looks like a pullet to me.

I agree!

The going gets tough today.
It seems to me the right wattle is growing and reddening. Not the left one, though.

That's a pullet

2 weeks later, here are five pictures of my chick.
So he's supposed to be 8 or 10 week old.
He has not grown a lot : does it mean a pullet ? or a problem in development ?
His weight is 500 grams or 1.1 lb

Any idea of my chick sex 2 weeks later ?
