I've posted these pictures in more breed specific threads, but I thought it's be nice to get more gender guesses over here. These are 4 week old mixed breed chicks from a flock of non-standard ameraucana(EE), marans, araucana, and rhode island red.

The picture collages are bigger if you click on them.

RIRs- my guess: pullet and cockerel




Rumpless- Araucana crosses, at least 2 of them with Marans. I don't have any guesses on Tesla. I thought Sadie (the blue) was a girl, but someone else said cockerel and I don't know about the black one. My guess on that one changes daily



Penny is an EE and I'm guessing pullet. Hank I'm guessing is a Wheaten Marans cross cockerel.


Two EE's. I'm starting to think Olive is and Oliver and Poe is a pullet


Lincoln (on the left) I'm guessing is a Marans cockerel and the one on the right I thought was an Marans cross pullet, but someone else guessed cockerel.


Grey EE's, guessing both are pullets, but the one on the right I'm still not sure about.


How'd I do? I'm new at this so it's been a lot of fun guessing. Only time will tell I guess...

I'm taking a flying guess here......

Beatrix and Punky Rooster...both are males....more developed combs and wattles at four weeks of age tells me they are males.

Sadie, and blue and mottled, it appears to be females. I could be wrong there.

Penny and Hank, definately male and female pair

Oliver and Poe, I see female feather patterns but it can change when the adult feather patterns come into play. The Silver one looks male because of his obvious spur buds on the inside of his legs.

Lincoln and buddy, both looks cockerals

Grey EEs, both looked pullets.

Yes it is fun to guess and find out when they are six months old to find out actually what sex they are.
