Take part in study on PFAS 'forever chemicals' in eggs

[chuckmum6]

These are my babies who will be four weeks old on Monday. I think I have two boys and a girl - what do you think? They are silver pencil laced wyandotte bantams.

Bless them they are all a bit dopey looking as I got them out of bed to have their photo's taken as it is the only time I can catch them. There mums didn't seem to worried about it. Please tell me what you experts think they are

I can't see any pictures.

Going by the colouring they are all girls! Let me know how you get on

Mine had bigger combs + wattles by 3 weeks - I'd think 3 girls too

[chuckmum6]

Oh wow that would be fantastic! The top two have tiny little wattles coming through and the tiniest spike of a comb that's what made me think boys. Fingers crossed!!!!

[Redwing]

the best way to see is face on pics but from these side on views I'd say two boys and a girl

 

When looking at them face on the boys have a wider area for the comb, the girls have a narrower area

 

By a few weeks the boys are more obviously chunkier and have thicker legs too

[meezers]

My faverolle boy ( who I know is def a boy , has a bigger comb than them at 3 1/2 weeks. My fav girls' comb looks same as them, so I guess 3 girls as well.

I have just added front view pictures,Redwing, what do you think now? My chicks will be a month old on Monday. Thanks everyone!

Looking at those pics, Sage does have little wattles and a wide comb

[Redwing]

Good pics

 

I'm sticking with my boy, boy, girl verdict sorry

[chuckmum6]

Mmmmm, that's was my initial thought, oh well I'll wait and see what happen in the next few weeks - then I might ask you all again!

I don't know if the tail thing applies to this breed (Girls have more definite tails than the boys in some breeds - certainly some of the dual purpose/table breeds). . If so I would say boy boy girl.

[chuckmum6]

Not sure still, not much of a tail yet and so far only one with a set of mini wattles. Although there was a bit of sparing today (flapping at each other). I am hoping 1 boy and two girls, but ????? I will post some more pics when they have grown a bit more.

[chuckmum6]

I think I have two little girls and a boy, which I am quite pleased about. The chicks are nearly 5 weeks old, and only one has an obvious set of wattles, the others you can't see unless you hold them up close! Also my boy? seems to enjoy a bit of rough and tough fly fighting with his sister?. I will pop a picture on again soon so you can have a look at them! I have emailed a breeder who said the flight feathers should be black on boys and pencilled on girls, which also reinforces my feeling of two girlies!

[Redwing]

excellent news I'm glad I was wrong!
