Hey everyone!

I have two nearly 3-week old Mille Fleur D'uccle chicks, and I'm starting to get suspicious that one is a cockerel and one is a pullet. I'll make sure to post pictures when they turn 5 weeks. Unfortunately, I live in the 'burbs, so no roos here. My friend who gave me the eggs (I set 12, these two hatched) is willing to take any boys, but I'm not sure what to do if I have a lone chick. Biosecurity is a big deal for me, so getting another chick will be a BIG deal. I have 3 year old standard sized hens in my yard that the chicks will be housed with when they're big.

TIA!
 
It would be challenging to raise her alone with standards, but I'd like to think that it can be done. I'll be watching to see what else is said.

:fl they're both pullets.
