This is so reassuring! I can’t believe my luck; out of 6 unsexed chicks, 5 are looking to be pullets. We don’t have space to keep them all so I wasn’t devastated if Blue was a boy. I love the mystery so much. Chickens are cool 😎

She’s very pretty! Her tail is much bigger than my one! After seeing your Pinto, I think mine looks more masculine

Here they are at 10 weeks (just shy of 11 weeks). Pink I’m certain is a pullet. Blue still has me guessing- comb isn’t super red but it in comparison to pinks.

It’s such a mystery! I have read that sussex chickens are slow to develop. Your cockerel above looks to have a larger comb than I imagine mine would develop over the next week? 🤞🏽

A little update- almost 11 weeks. I think I’ve changed my mind & now I think this must be a pullet. She looks like she’s grown into her body more.. & thick legs don’t look so out of place.

Oh my! They look so similar it’s creepy! They even have the same type of comb. How peculiar

9 weeks old! Legs are more yellow. Still not as confident as I would have liked on its sex & breed. Agonising

She doesn’t breed meat birds! She has Perkins, light sussex, barnevelders, Plymouth rocks, australorp, Vorwerk, silkie, Polish. It’s such a mystery to me. It’s 9 weeks old now & I have no further clarity on its breed or sex!

Have you got a photo of yours? Where do you live? I live in Australia. We were told she could have sussex/leggorn/wyandotte in her.

How old is the white/ brown chicken?

I agree- Hazy & Misty look like pullets.. 😊 yay 🥳

Photos without the sun behind them… sometimes the sun makes the combs look more than they are yet.

Hmm it’s hard to tel! Can you try and get some more closeup photos of comb & wattles for the two in question? For Hazy & Misty?

It’s the massive chest and thick neck! I feel like that comb is eager to turn red. This chick is doing my head in.. everything screams boy to me but then he’s developing quite slow 😩 he definitely has thick legs though.. and thick toes.

I love the cuddle pic with your child, the duckling & the chick. A unique bond in the making

Omg! It’s so stinking cute. A miracle really that it survived without heat.

Some updated piccies for those interested. 8 weeks. Blue seems to be growing at a quicker rate. Blues Wattles are contrastingly red compared to pinks.

Mak Males And females do it to assert their dominance but in my experience, all the chest bumping chicks have turned out to be cockerels.. and I still have no clue as to whether my chick is a boy or girl!

I know everyone thinks pullet but he seems so masculine to me.. thick legs.

I live in australia & we just had our 24 week australorp start laying 4 days ago.. 2 eggs already! No supplemental light 🤷‍♀️
