Gender Swedish Flower Hens

[cheddarbabe]

Hi everyone!
We are new chicken owners and these are our 5 week old Swedish Flower Hens. We got them as sexed chicks (2 day old). Would you guys want to have a look and see if they are indeed pullets? They have a bit of red coming in on their combs but since all of them have it to some degree I'm thinking it's just part of their maturing process.

Thank you!!!

At this point, all look like pullets to me.

Welcome! My eyes are not good enough to say if pullets or cockerels but they are good enough to see they are all lovely. I have always wanted SFH but never could get eggs to hatch in my area. Congrats on becoming a chicken parent!

Thank you! They are such a pleasure!! It was pure coincidence we got 4 of them - initially I'd never even heard of them but our local hatcher offered them to us instead of the cream legbars we were initially on the list for because not enough female chicks had hatched. But I'm so glad that we ended up with these instead! Suuuch social and friendly chicks!!

They are a landrace which is interesting to me. They come in all colors and both crested and uncrested. A real mix.
