[8 Week Update] All Pullets? - 6 Week Old Easter Eggers (Favaucanas)

[ravensnow]

I got these three sexed from My Pet Chicken, but I'm always going to worry because I'm not allowed roosters. They all feathered/matured really quickly compared to my Orpington chicks last year! I know that it's impossible to see their legs in these photos, but all their legs look similar to one another's. No one has noticeably thicker legs.

Thanks for your help!

Chick 1 - Malachite

Chick 2 - Persephone

Chick 3 - Celestine

They all look to be pullets to me. I love Persephone's hairdo. Very pretty birds.

Beautiful birds, I would also guess pullets, but they're still young.

Thanks, everyone!

I'll post another group of pictures when they're older, too.

Alright, they are now eight weeks old and growing like crazy. Is anyone seeing anything to suggest someone might not be a pullet? They haven't changed in how they interact with each other or in personality. We remain bad at taking pictures with clearly visible legs.

Chick 1 - Malachite, 1 pound, 6 oz.

Chick 2 - Persephone, 1 pound, 5.8 oz. The lens flare in these pictures makes it hard to see her comb color. It's the same pink as Malachite's, above.

Chick 3 - Celestine, 1 pound, 6.2 oz. Without a doubt, her comb is larger than the other two's and has been for about a week. I've included more images of her for your discernment.

If eight weeks is still too young for them to be showing pullet/cockerel, what age do things typically become pretty clear for Easter eggers?

I’ve acquired a mixed breed chick who is 7 weeks so I’m trying to compare with yours! Were they all pullets?
