Re: Chicks!
I hope it’s a fluke, I ordered all females...but if it’s a rooster we’ll see!

Re: Chicks!
I also have one lighter welsummer, and was curious to see if it ends up the same as the others in the end. They were all supposed to be female as well, but I guess there’s an 80% accuracy, so we’ll see!

Re: Chicks!
How is your lighter welsummer turning out? Mine does look different than the others, but I’m still thinking pullet?
The butt on the left is one of the others.

Re: Chicks!
How old is this one in the pic?

Re: Chicks!
About 12 weeks old now. I’ve seen males with more black on the chest by now in pictures, but I have nothing else to go on...

Re: Chicks!
It's just the head looks male but it should have more comb by now if it was male, so it might be a hen.

Re: Chicks!
I’ll post a pic of mine tomorrow, which are all pullets and their heads and combs look like yours. “Goldie” is quite a bit lighter than the others and it will be curious to see if she stays that way.
