3.5 weeks old- boy or girl?

[kendra1178]

This is my first time ever having chicks. Like many people, I just want hens because I live in a residential area where a rooster just wouldn't be appreciated. I think I will post my chicks one at a time so I don't get too confused...LOL.

So there you have it. What do you think? Are these pictures helpful? As I'm sure you know, it is super difficult to take pictures of chickens.

The next one up for inspection is my reddish brown chick. 3.5 weeks old. Boy or Girl?

The next chick up for inspection is my black one, also 3.5 weeks old. Boy or Girl?

The black one is a black sex link pullet unsure of the rest

ha ha ha your white one looks like my white ones, and they are still debating what the heck they are,lol. I agree that the black one is a sex link, i too have one that looks just like that.

Do you know what breed the white one is? At 3.5 weeks it's pretty big and the comb looks too big to be a pullet, but you never know it's a little early still. The red one looks like a RIR (Rhode Island Red) and appears to be a pullet so far. Black one is a black sex link and is a pullet. Good luck!

Could the white ones be a Cornish chick they do look big

Thank you! I have 5 chicks right now. I didn't know what breed any of them were because they all came from brown eggs that my friend got from the auction to hatch. She has some more that I could get right now, but I wanted to check to see how many pullets I might have. This time, she had some blue eggs too. The 2 chicks that I haven't posted yet have feathers that look sort of like a pearled cockatiel. They are so pretty right now.

The first one looks very similar to my golden sex link roos. They are white with off-white heads and necks. They have tall single combs and yellow legs. At 4 weeks the combs turned red and the wattles started. Yours does look a tad fatter than mine in the first pics of it. The last picture of the first chick looks very very similar to mine.

The white one looks like my white rock but now it could be a leghorn or a cornish cross for that matter.
