Help with age and sex

[systemrobot]

Hi everyone, I just acquired 2 young peachicks and was wondering if anyone could help me identify the age, sex, and breed of the little guys?

this one is 8 inches tall

and this darker one is a bit shorter at around 7 inches tall

Looks like the top on is a Purple and the bottom one is an Indian Blue. As for sex have no idea, you'll have to wait a few more weeks. As for age, compared to mine I would say 2 weeks. My chicks begin to get crest feathers at 3 weeks old.

The purple could be hen, second one still early.

I have all of my chicks still fanning and they're 4 weeks old and there's at least one hen in the clutch.

Hi there,
We have two chicks. One is apparently a black shouldered and the other is blue. I'm trying to tell the difference in sex. They are about a month old and the "brown" one is much taller than the "yellow". Any guesses?

They're a little young for an accurate sexing. My guess is the brown one is a male, and the Black Shoulder chick is definitely to young to sex. Black Shoulders can be sexed accurately usually around 3 months of age.

At this young age my little boys display more than the girls, but the girls do display!
