Keep us posted!

I think your BCM is a cockerel at least. Here’s a pic of my BCM around 8 weeks old to compare the combs. Hers is almost non-existent.

I have a flock of 12 pullets (although there are a couple possible cockerels) that are all around 8-9 weeks old. I want to pick up another 10 week old pullet tomorrow. Will I be ok to just put the new pullet directly in with the existing young flock? She’s at least a week older than the rest of...

Thanks! I figured that was the case but I’m relatively new to chickens so started second guessing.

I know the whole point of sex links is that they are auto-sexing, and so this should 100% be a pullet, but “she” is almost 8 weeks old and has a large comb, wattles coming in, thick legs, spur buds…the whole deal. Makes me doubt the gender. Can someone please confirm that she is a female golden...

Thanks. That’s kinda what I was figuring. It’s not an obvious cockerel, but not obviously a pullet either. I’m holding out hope because it doesn’t really have any smut between the wings and the tail feathers don’t look barred to me. When do you think I would know for sure?

I’ve posted about this Delaware before, and opinions are pretty split. Anyone good at sexing them and have any idea if this is a cockerel or pullet? It’s somewhere between 8-9 weeks old.

Here’s a pic of them from around 6 weeks. First pic is the Ameraucana, second is the olive egger. The olive egger has always been a little runty and slow to feather.

Thanks. I have a lavender olive egger that is also getting redder. Hoping at least one of them is a pullet. Thoughts?

Wondering if you have any thoughts on my Ameraucana as well? It’s about 8 weeks old. Comb isn’t huge, but is pretty bumpy and quite red. Thanks!

For comparison, here is my 8 week old BCM. She has almost no comb still.

Really hoping at least one is a girl. Hatch date of 3/21 so coming up on 8 weeks old. The Ameraucana definitely has a bumpier comb, but the olive egger is also pinking up and is SO SLOW to feather. These two are the olive egger. And these are the Ameraucana Thanks for the help!

I think it’s a cockerel. Here’s a pic of my 7 week old speckled Sussex for comparison. She has very minimal comb and no wattles.

Could you switch to a nipple waterer? Mine picked up on it super easy. I also moved mine out to the coop at 4&5 weeks and had no issues. Temps still getting into the 30s at night.

All of them?

I’m definitely not an expert, but looks like a pullet to me. I have a 6 week old silver laced Wyandotte that I’ve been curious about as well. In my research I’ve been seeing that Wyandotte pullets get pink combs and wattles early, but the boys get bright red. I added pics of mine that many have...

Is the grey one’s neck all bloody? If so, you will want to isolate it from the rest of the flock or the other chicks will continue to peck at it (possibly until death).

Thanks. Is it the comb/wattles that make you say roo? Here’s another pic.

So you think they are all pullets? That would be great!

I have a flock of 12 chicks. All are about 6-7 weeks old. I have one lavender Ameraucana that I’m almost positive is a cockerel, but then three that I’m on the fence about. Please help! Lavender Olive Egger. Supposed to be a mix of BBS Marans and CCL, but idk how they would get the lavender...
