Is he a he?

[jenshens412]

I have 5 eggs from a neighbor that my broody hatched 5 weeks ago. Looking for help deciding if he is a he or a she. Not sure of the breeds here. I have one with dark legs, 3 with feathered legs, 1 with no comb, all are dark with some white coming in. Lily has done a great job raising them, she does not let me pick them up. These are the best shots I have of the little rascals.

They look like hens

Pic 7&9 look like pullets (although it’s still early) the rest are cockrels. Comb development this early is not normal for girls.

I see lots of cockerels. Only time will tell

I will give it a try.

Agree with Alleyschicks. Is the bird in pics 7 and 9 the same one? Is the bird in picture 3 one of the two birds in the first two pictures? I'm a little confused.

They are so difficult to get shots of. They keep running back and forth. I will do my best to take some better shots and repost one of each chic.

Yes they are! Chicks have lots of energy. I am just concerned we get the right gender for each bird.
