hi
I have hatched 4 chickens and wondering if anyone knows what sex they may be from these pictures, I know there only 1 week old say not expecting to many replies, thanks in advance
thanks for replies , I thought they might be too young, just 3 of them keep jumping at each other & I do hope there not all roosters, at what age is best to tell do you think ? or wait to see if they try crowing.
thanks again
My baby chicks jump all over each other, all over momma, some of them even mock fight with the silkie rooster in the pen, and mine are sex links so I know some of them doing this are female
Post around 5-6 weeks, that's usually the earliest you can get a reliable take on gender. Great pictures by the way!
hi
the 4 chickens i hatched are now 6 weeks old and wondering if anyone knows what sex they may be from these pictures, not expecting to many replies but thanks in advance
I'm thinking the first three are pullets based on the round tipped feathers. I can't tell on the last Wheaten but suspect a cockerel.
But the Copper Blue Maran does have a lot of red to the comb and wattles so could turn out to be a cockerel.
Wheaten Marans are quite easy to sex early on; cockerels feather in dark, like you saw in the wing feathers of your last chick when you first posted. Pullets feather in a salmon colour.
