What genders do I have? Any guesses?

[SeabassSarmale]

Hey guys, I’ve got quite the list of chicks I’d like to take a gander on (see what I did there?) They are 4/1/2 weeks old, which is a little early, but I’d love some guesses on them.
(Each picture is a individual bird, and the marans are slightly younger, but I think the black copper is male based off comb size this early). Breeds are: Dark Brahma, Red and Black sex link, GLW, Blue and Black CM, White Leghorn.

Brahmas are pullets. I don't see any RSLs. I see a RIR/Production Red. If the BSL is in fact a BSL, it's a pullet.

The rest need to be around 6 weeks old to be more accurate.

The brahmas are the first two pictures, correct?

Yes! @Overo Mare @JedJackson @Rhodebar Lover @NatJ , @fluffycrow any ideas guys?

Did they say what gender they were supposed to be?

Some co-ops and stores are good about keeping chicks labeled correctly, but some mix up the labels or the chicks (or let the chicks mix themselves by going from bin to bin.)

Yes they should all be pullets, they had the straight run chicken breeds in a different place.

In that case, there are a few options:

--If all the labels are right, you probably have just pullets of the breeds they said. There is a chance of one or two being sexing-error males, but probably not many, and they are not particularly obvious right now. So you will have to wait and see.

--If some or all of the labels are wrong, then you may have wrong genders and/or wrong breeds. Trying to check the sexlinks by color is hopeless if the labels might be wrong, because they could easily be other breeds where color does not tell you anything.

Either way, I do not see any really obvious males, so I think you will just have to wait and see as they get older. Some pullets do grow their combs faster than others, and all of yours are within the range that COULD be either a female or a male at this age.

Yeah, I’ll give it 2-3 more weeks, and update this thread.

Alrighty, here is the updated pictures. 6/1/2 weeks. The other 2 brahmas are females, and I’ve got one male copper maran.

Hello! My guesses (in order of photos) are:
Cockerel
Pullet
Cockerel
Unsure
Unsure (Pullet?)
Cockerel
Cockerel
Cockerel
Unsure (Pullet?)
Cockerel
Pullet
Cockerel
Unsure

These are just my guesses and I can’t be sure about anything, because I can’t see them in person and can’t monitor their behavior or other physical traits. Sorry, other people may be able to answer better than I can. Hope you find out soon!

I think based off of feathers, the 2 brahmas are females, but other then that, I’m not 100% sure about the others. Thanks for the reply!
