White Leghorn Cross Gender Guess???

[Orpstralope]

Here are two chicks that a broody hen in my hen house hatched about 9.5 weeks ago. One has relatively larger waddles than the other and I'm pretty sure that he is a cockeral. However, the other has smaller waddles and I can't tell. Any guesses?

Roo?:

Leghorn Cross... Roo on left, Pullet on Rt.... That's what I think anyway...

That's what I'm hoping for! A great pair to give to a good friend in need

 

[Orpstralope]

anyone else got a second opinion?

That's my guess as well. Roo on the left, pullet on the right. The roo's coomb and waddles are bigger and darker red and he has thicker legs.

Hello;

I live in Boone and I was wondering if the hen is for sale?

Thank you!

IMO, those are both cockerels. At 9.5 weeks old, my Leghorns hens had almost no combs and wattles. They stayed yellow for a very long time, then it seemed like they grew over night and got red and floppy when they were nearly ready to lay....

Both roosters, one is just more dominant so more developed then the other.

At 9.5 weeks neither of them should really have red combs or wattles, so is it possible they are both cockerels?

Another zombie thread....considering the birds in question are now three years old, I sure hope the gender question has been answered!
