    What did I buy?

    It could be a production blue. Gray rather than black fluff points to that. I think it will need to feather in more completely to get a good idea of what it is.

    Sexing Easter Egger/Australorp Chicks

    Chick 1 has a bit of comb development, but not enough to say it is a cockerel at this stage. Watch the comb for size and color over the next few weeks. Chick 2 is a pullet, in my opinion. Very small and pale comb. These chicks have pea combs from the Easter egger side, not rose combs.

    Lavender easter egger tail giving cockerel vibes 😂

    Those tail feathers will molt out quickly, and don't mean anything at that age. The comb seems a little large for its age but otherwise this looks to be a pullet to me.

    Is this a hen or rooster?

    So far it looks female, but it is early days yet.

    English Orpingtons

    So far I think pullet because of the smaller, pale comb. But English Orpingtons can be late bloomers, so I would keep an eye on it for a while longer.

    IDing for a friend.

    Me too! How discouraging to get all male chicks. I don't think it's just coincidence, though. The odds are too small.

    What gender is this 2 wk old Barred Rock chick?

    Don't sell yourself short. You do a great job and definitely aren't a novice. The truth is we are all making educated guesses most of the time on here, and all of us are wrong sometimes and right at other times. It's the community consensus that helps people the most, in my opinion.

    What gender is this 2 wk old Barred Rock chick?

    Yeah, I agree. One of those things that had to be maintained in the breeding and usually isn't.

    What gender is this 2 wk old Barred Rock chick?

    Boys have mullets, girls have toupees. I had to use the search engine to aid my memory. :D

    What gender is this 2 wk old Barred Rock chick?

    This one is tough. I'm gonna guess pullet because of the dark wash on the legs, but I'm not certain on this one. The barring is difficult to read, or maybe my eyes are getting bad.

    Is this roo an Australorp?

    He is not typical in shape for an Australorp. His shape reminds me more of the Langshan type, although he doesn't have feathered legs. He's handsome whatever he might be.

    Do you know What breed?

    She resembles a black sex link, so I'd go with that. This is a production variety created by the hatcheries to be great layers, not a pure breed.
  14. JedJackson

    Any idea what breed?

    She's some kind of mixed breed. Possibly an Easter egger.

    They're red sex link pullets.
