Some Chick Pics @ 4 and 6 Weeks Old-- Orps, Rocks, Del

There are BBS Orpingtons, Barred Rocks, barred EEs and one lone, feisty Delaware chick. See that humongous comb on Lexie's less-than-four-week-old son? The BR pullet in the second pic belongs to my Ivy. Both are sired by Dutch who is Hawkeye's son.

The last two are the same chick, my first baby from my up and coming Delaware flock. I'm thinking it's probably a pullet. And hoping it's a pullet!

They are adorable. Not to sound too stupid, but do you know who is a he and who is a she with any of them? I have 25 ISA Browns. They are all supposed to be pullets. It been quite awhile since I have had chicks. So far none look Rooish yet. They are almost 7 weeks old.

Edited for spelling.

Isa Browns are sexlinked, meaning at hatch, the females are colored differently than the males. Yours should easily be all girls. The Barred Rocks males are different from the females at hatch, too. The Orpingtons take longer, but by six weeks, you usually know. Ease of sexing depends on the breed, really.
