Oh yeah I understand that. My beef is... don't make a big deal of having separate designations if you really aren't sure. When I went to buy these they said 'we have these pullets over here or these straight run over here'. See? And they were all the same age, same breeds. I should have known...

It is! So annoying though when they were all sold as "pullets". Personally I think that if you aren't sure, then sell them as straight run! Then people know to expect possible boys!

Thank you. So far, out of the 4 "pullets" sold, it looks like 2 boys 2 girls.

Ok, here are the "girls" at 12 weeks old. I'm pretty much thinking that I originally had it backwards and the one that I thought was a boy is a girl and vice versa. As ever, if they're both girls the better ;) Boy? Is this an example of a really wonky three row pea comb? Same bird: Same...

The SLWs look like hatchery quality SLWs. One female, one male. Both were supposed to be pullets as were the EEs. All were 1 week old. All of the chickens I have, I've bought from them (it's a local ranch). I have 6 New Hampshires (I've had a total of 9 NHs from them, all pullets but purchased...

I wonder too. Both birds are from the same place, sold as... you guessed it... white Ameraucanas. Nice ranch, nice people but you aren't allowed to see the adult breeding flock. Most likely due to bio-security issues. The second bird had really thick legs and a taller stance as a little chick...

Thank you! I hope you're right I hadn't noticed how odd Penny's comb looked until I saw the photo. It's a little mangled huh? But then, she looks mangled all over, feather wise. She looks like she went through a blender! And of course on both of them, who knows what other breed slipped in with...

Ok I've posted photos of these two at younger ages. They're now 9.5 weeks and I am all sorts of confused with them. The one I thought was a girl due to what I've read about tails and all looks more rooish now and the other one that I thought looked like a boy due to tail and legs and all looks...

My post was supposed to have words!! How adorable is that chick???

Ok, see, the one I think is male, has thicker legs than the other one and the tail is different, it sits up a little higher and is a little shorter. The other, the one whose feathers look so straggly, has a long inverted v shaped tail, and thinner legs. She has no real feathers on her back yet...

My birds came from a local ranch, sold as white Ameraucana pullets. They were one week old when I bought them. The one I think is a boy actually has much better feathering and a different/ shorter tail than my straggly looking one. Thank you all for your input!!!

Ergh, I hope she's a SHE. Otherwise I've got three out of four birds all boys....

Ok my girls are a little older now, what does everyone think? They are 5 1/2 weeks old. This is Marigold, but I think she might actually be a Marvin: This is Moneypenny, whose feathering looks pretty ragged right now. Pretty sure she's a she. Here are them together. On Moneypenny I see a...

Thank you for the girly wishes W4W !! :)

Thank you! Back to the 'wait and see' game! :)

I'm only on page 93, and I'm trying to get caught up! I was hoping someone might be able to assist here. I have my suspicions (which usually prove correct) and like most, I hope they are wrong! Only because, like so many of us, we're not allowed roosters here. I'd LOVE to have one, if only I...
