New chicks- hoping for all pullets!

[KitKatLady]

Hello everyone! I am a first time chicken owner and recently picked up my first 3 about a week ago. I got a Speckled Sussex, Barred Rock, and Red-laced wyandotte (however i've only seen it written Blue-laced, so i'm wondering if that was some sort of typo?) Anyways. They were estimated to be about 4-5 weeks when I picked them up on 6/30. Here are a couple videos of them running around the coop when it was warm enough outside. Hopefully I have all pullets! What do you all think? Videos from 7/2 and 7/6- so around 5-6 weeks? Although they seem much smaller than all other photos of chicks at this age.

So far so good. I'd watch the barred rock though.

They look more like 4ish weeks old right now, a bit young to sex and know gender for sure.
But I think the Barred Rock possibly could be a male, other two look like females as of now.
Hard to know what color pattern your Wyandotte is till it's fully feathered.

The barred looks like a male.

Hmm thanks for the heads up on age. I had a feeling they were younger than what the person stated by looking at everyone else’s photos of their 5-6 week olds. The barred rock is confusing to me. Don’t both the Roos and hens end up having red combs and wattles? What should I look out for as first emerging traits? Knowing they’re probably closer to 4 weeks, I’ll have to wait a while anyways to see the traits pop up

Yes, they do. But the boys comb and wattles develop faster.

Comb development and barring.
Before he/she is even 8 weeks, if it's a boy, he'll probably have some very red wattles and a comb. If it's a pullet she probably won't be red until much closer to laying age.
For the barring the boys tend to have lighter barring than the girls.

Thank you!! Maybe I’ll post a photo in 2-4 weeks assuming they’re closer to 4 weeks

Sorry i've been out for the weekend. I am looking at how much white there seems to be. Males will look more grey & white due where females will look more black and white.

Dangit! I have a feeling you’re right…. We’ll see!

 

[Tookie]

Not a great photo…. But we’re looking a bit redder. I’ve heard some pullets coming in looking a bit pinker but I’m not
holding my breath anymore.

Oh yeah that looks like a boy.

I’m new to owning chickens as well I’ve only had chickens since april but when they’re that young you got to watch the waddles but after they are like 10 weeks old I’m terrible at identifying genders
