The usual she or he?

Our take

Are you ready for some cluck-tastic chicken chatter? Meet NonaSweets, who’s feeling pretty confident about her six delightful pullets nearing the ten-week mark. With two Easter Eggers, two Sapphire Gems, one Speckled Sussex, and a Midnight Majesty (or so she believes), Nona is on a quest for affirmation about her feathered friends' gender. It’s a rite of passage for any chicken enthusiast to ponder – are these lovely ladies truly hens, or is there a surprise rooster lurking in the coop? Join the conversation and lend your expertise, because nothing beats the thrill of identifying these charming birds as they grow. Let’s lend Nona our clucking wisdom and make this a fun and supportive chicken community experience!

6 pullets almost 10 weeks old. Feeling pretty confident they are all girls but would love a second opinion. I’ve got two Easter Eggers, two sapphire gems, 1 speckled Sussex, and 1 midnight majesty (I think). Thank you!!
