You got it! When all hope is lost...get more chickens!

It's definitely the chance I took when incubating. I guess this means I have to get more pullets. 😂

Thank you! I was trying to hold hope for this one.

So this is an update in a previous post. My chicks are now 4 weeks old. I know I have at least 3 roos out of the group but is this little reddish one number 4?

I know the one BR mix is definitely then I had both white ones as potentials. What's your fourth? The reddish one?

This is an update to an earlier post. I have just about 4 week old mixed breeds. I'm pretty sure out of 6chicks 3 of them are cockerels. Thoughts?

I would say the 1st chick pictured could be a cockerel.

I didn't notice the all black one in the back. I'm not sure the breed on that one.

They all looked like Barred Rocks. Your lighter ones are roos.

I guess the EE attitude should have told me he's a roo. And there is no denying the BR.🤣

Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge! Only having two sounds a lot better than 4! I was really hoping that reddish one was a pullet. I will keep posting as they get a little older.

The white ones I believe are an isa brown/barred rock mix they both have black spots on them. The reddish EE came and all black came from these two.

Thank you all for your responses. I believe all are mixed breeds. The 2 barred rocks and the 2 white ones all came from a barred rock rooster and either a wyndotte, isa brown, or leghorn hen. The all black and reddish are from my group and the are both EE. Here are pics of all 6.

I have 6 3 week old chicks and I know I have 2 little cockerels but I'm thinking I have 3 possibly 4! The EE I'm not sure about it's a bit too early yet for her. But I'm fairly confident on my white one. Do you agree?

😫 well I guess that's the chance I took when incubating eggs.

Thank you! I'm hoping I only have 2. That's still two too many.😂

I currently have some chicks that are about 3 weeks old. I have some suspicion that I have a couple if not 3 roos in the group. I know they're a little young to sex. One is a barred rock/wyndotte cross. The other 2 I believe are barred rock/isa brown cross.

No problem! I'm not an expert by any means but I've enjoyed having silkies in my flock. One out of my 3 are a little flighty but once you pick her up, she loves snuggles. I currently have bachelor pad and even though he's the smallest, he's the toughest.

My silkie rooster is very docile and calm. He really showed no cockerel behavior like some of my others did early on either.

The white one is a cockerel. The black one appears to be also but I'm a little hesitant to say for sure.
