New babies

[wchumbler]

My new babies, just a couple weeks old. Q Olive Egger, 1 Maran, 1 Red Production and 4 Ameraucanas or EE (either is fine). I just really hope these are all hens.

They are absolutely adorable!! Unfortunately, it will be a little while before you can tell their genders. It's still pretty young to sex them. I hope they are females!

Your chicks are adorable but too young to sex accurately from a picture. I suggest posting their pictures again in about 3 weeks. We should be able to tell for sure by then.

It is too young to tell gender on most of them. However, your Production Red actually appears to be a Red Sex-link. If that is the case, then it is a definite pullet due to her coloring.

Too young to tell. I"m not seeing any definite rooster signs, but that doesn't mean that they are pullets.

if you had them around a day old, you could've been able to tell by their wings, but their feathers are already grown in. Around a month old, even around a month and a half, if some have their combs and wattles coming in, they are most likely male.

That is not necessarily true - feather sexing is only accurate with specific crosses that produce the wing feathering you are thinking of. The genetics involved in making it a reliable method of gender ID are such that not just any chick can be accurately sexed in this way.
