Gender guesses. 8 week Barnevelders

[Becks Chicks]

I have 2 double silver laced barnevelders that I bought from Greenfire Farms as straight run chicks. I think I have 1 pullet and 1 cockerel because of color leakage on one of them. Their combs look the same color to me, with the disclaimer that I’m blue-yellow colorblind. Color differences between yellow, orange, and pink are really hard for me to see
.

Both are cockerels.

My guess is that they are chickens! And I’m sure that I’m correct!

Both are cockerels.

I think so too.

 

[Sussex19]

Both are cockerels.

That was my thought as well.

What leads you to think cockerels?

What leads you to think cockerels?

Comb development.

 

[Becks Chicks]

Comb development.

Thank you. It’s really annoying not to be able to see color sometimes.

Your welcome!
I bet its annoying.

They are both cockerels. Their comb and wattle development and their feathering, are the giveaways. Males have a different feather pattern than females.
