Cochin Chick Color and Sex, please?

4 Cochin chicks maybe 4-5 weeks old. I think the 1st I think is a cuckoo. I know 2 and 3 are blue, but which blue? The 4th is obviously white. Please check colors for me and help ID sex. A couple will have to go and I need to know which.

TY

#3 is the only definite pullet that I see.  You might want to wait a few more weeks to get a more accurate sexing.

but I would not advise selling them now because they are still not old enough to tell for sure...our guess are just going by what the look like right now...all of their combs may not grow any more or get any redder until they get ready to lay...or they could all be big and bright red in 2 weeks...post new pic in a few weeks and we might be able to give you a more accurate guess big_smile.png they are all beautiful though
