Guesses on the gender for my barnyard mixes

[margiejoe]

Hello! I’ve got 8 barnyard mix chicks and I’m thinking I’ve got majority roosters. My luck with straight runs has not been great so far Would appreciate y’all’s opinions! And if you can also guess the father/mother that’d be cool too! They are about 3 weeks old.

Here is what I know about the potential breed mixes:
Possible roosters- Rhode Island Red or Lavender Maran

Possible hens- golden comet, Rhode Island reds, black copper maran, legbar, or cinnamon queens.

I think chicks 1-6 are roosters. I’m hopeful for 7&8 to be pullets

#1 (someone already said RIR dad, golden comet mom)

#2

#3 - this guy is hard to catch still

#4 only stillish photo I could get of this guy but I think the comb gives it away

#5

#6 white chick with rose comb (someone said RIR dad, cinnamon queen mom)

#7 hoping maybe pullet

#8 the only one I have a feeling is a pullet, because comb is the least developed

6 and 7 are possibly pullets, and 8 is definitely a pullet. The rest look like boys. Not a great ratio but most of us in here have had the same luck at one time or another.

I second that

I can agree with that, your not the only one there. Lol

All but the last three are cockerels. Number 6 is a maybe pullet, not 100% on her, I'm not very versed with rose combed birds

7,8, maybe 6 are pullets

thanks everyone!! #6 is being very dramatic this morning and trying to bite the combs off of the other roosters, so now I am thinking he is definitely a he. If I have 2/8 pullets, then my luck is the same as the last straight run I got . Next time I will buy sexed chicks.

We have had streaks of the same ratios you are having now. Last year we found out you can get more pullets the boys. We even had an all girls hatch of 6. Hopefully your luck will turn around as well.
