Hello! I've got a few 10-12 weeks birds out of my bunch whos gender I'm questioning. Any help determining their sex would be greatly appreciated. Breed is not a concern. Thank you!

Bird #1:





Bird #2





Bird #3



Bird #4

That's better that I was expecting! Thank you. I'm brand new to this and trying to learn, could you explain your reasoning? I thought for sure my cinnamon queen, bird #1, would be a rooster, she's got the reddest, largest comb of all my chickens her age. And on bird #2 is it common for pullets to have tail feathers like that? That one sure acts like a rooster, but it's comb is very pale. Thanks!

Oh yes, #1's comb screams rooster. But she's a Red Sex Link - it's genetically impossible for her to be male. If she was, she'd be white.

#2 is a Dom Game. Gamefowl are bred for aggression; gamehens are just as likely to pick a fight with each other as any rooster.
