Light Sussex chicks- 7 weeks old- pictures- help me sex them!

[littlelemon]

I have 5 Light Sussex chicks that I am trying to sex. Will you please help me? The pictures aren't great, it was a windy day today so the feathers ruffled in the wind, and I had to snap the pictures quickly before the chicks flew off the roof of the coop.

One of them is obviously a cockerel. However, he is actually the smallest in stature of my chicks:

I think that the other 4 are pullets, but I am not sure. I can't yet tell by the neck feathers, so I am going on the development of the comb and wattles. Here they are:

#1

#2

#3

#4

The last one kinda looks like a cockeral but the rest look like pullets 2 mee

I wanted to mention that some of the gray coloring you see on some of the chick's backs is from when I had to spray Blu-Kote on some of them when they were 2 weeks old. They were pecking bloody spots on one another and the Blu-Kote stopped it- however that stuff sure takes forever to wear off!

It looks like you have a cockerel and four pullets.

Yup,looks like a Cockerel and 4 pullets to me

Blue Kote really works but you are right sure doesn't wear off very fast .

 

[Dr Who]
