Sexing my 1 month old chicks

[kristina84]

I have 4,1 month old chicks. 2 easter eggers and 2 prairie bluebell eggers. I am fairly sure 1 is a rooster because he's much bigger than the others. But I've never had to do this with peacombs before. Any chance you can give your input on pullets vs cockerels?

Lightest one might be a roo, can you post photos in a couple weeks of them and we can see them then?

He's definitely a roo. Thought I'd share a recent pic

This was my EE Cockrell at a month old his comb was already very distinctive lol I'd say you have all pulletsView attachment 3639681View attachment 3639683

That is quite the comb he had at a young age!
He has a single comb though, and they're more noticeable than pea combs which is what OP's chicks have.

Handsome fellow!
EE's have some wonderful coloration in the cockerels, if you keep him I bet he will win you over with his looks

He's pretty sweet so far and loves to jump on my shoulder. We absolutely adore him

The black one in the last photo with the white throat is the only possible to in my opinion.

It's really too young to know for certain, a good age to tell is around 8 weeks old.
None are obvious cockerels as of now. Only one I'm suspicious of is #1.

I hatched my first chicks (Chickpea and Pumpkin!) in March, I volunteer on a smallholding and we have hatched quite a few there and have a lot of hens!

I've got Pumpkin (female) who is mostly BO with a bit of hybrid mixed in there somewhere (she looks very like a pure buff!)
And Chickpea (male) who is half BO and half unknown breed (he is a ginger-brown sort of colour!)

They both come from my flock which includes:
(their dad called geralt who was a pure BO was sold because he was aggressive)
Hegardy- Pumpkin's mum, 3/4 BO 1/4 hybrid (lays light brown eggs)
Florence- Chickpea's mum unknown breed (lays cream eggs)
Harriet- unknown breed (lays green eggs)
Penny- retired hybrid rescue
Lavender- retired grey hen unknown breed rescue
8 random mixed breeds from the ones above (5 months old) (Peanut, Prince Peach, Dewdrop, May, Tootsie, Butternut squash, Brave, Snow white) (3 males, 5 females)
5 pure BOs (4 months old) (unnamed)
Linda- 1/2 black croud langshan 1/2 BO (2 months) (male)
Nora- 1/2 white croud langshan 1/2 BO (2 months) (female)
Tina- Pure BO (2 months) (female)
Alan- 1/2 copper maran 1/2 BO (2 months) (male)
plus 5 muscovy ducks and 7 ducklings
