I bought a purebred rare breed mix from Foxfire Farms Poultry on eBay and hatched out several beautiful chicks that are now six weeks old. Anyone have any guesses as to their sexes?

So far all pullets, update in 2-3 weeks...

The way the comb is coming in on the blue Marans makes me think it could be a cockerel, but appearance can change fast at so early an age.

I think the best bet is waiting until 6 to 8 weeks on these.

Much too young to be any form of accurate.

Update at just over 7 weeks!

My guesses -
Pullets: French Black Copper Marans #1, Blue crested polish, both deathlayers, Pavlovskaya
Cockerels: French Black Copper Marans #2, Blue marans, Isbar

French Black Copper Marans #1
