5 week old chicks, sex guessing game!

[gothgonechickenmad]

Hi, been a long time lurker on this forum, would like people's opinion on what the sex of my 6 five week old chicks are.

Im thinking there is definitely two boys, hopefully three pullets and a wee Eggbert who had a very hard start in life so too small to tell.

Any thoughts on if I'm right or wrong? They are mixed breed. Dad is Leghorn x CCL and mums are Rhode Rocks, Bluebelle and possibly a Scots Grey. Though I think the majority of the eggs where from Rhode Rocks. There are 4 x B&W, 1 x white and 1 x brown.

Welcome to BYC!
Not sure if the two barred birds I’m seeing that look male are the same bird or not. The barred bird in the middle in the first photo, the bird in the second photo and the bird in the last photo are male. The rest appear to be female.

Thanks, those are my thoughts too! I just deleted the last photo as you are right, that chick is already in photo 1 (in the middle!) Thanks for taking the time to reply!

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
Thank you for the photos!

So with your photo changes I’ll have to edit my answer and say the bird pictured in the last photo, white one, appears female.

Haha sorry to confuse! But yes, I hope she is a girl as her and the brown are fast becoming my favourites!

Welcome!
I think that the two lighter colored barred birds in the first photo are cockerels, and the bird in the second photo also.
More pictures later!
