4.5 weeks mixed breeds gender help please!!

Hi
First go at hatching and I have 4 chicks! Feather sexed them and they all said female, but now, at nearly five weeks I am having serious doubts. Any help gratefully received

Second and third are little roo’s. Feather sexing is not the best way to tell the gender, as it varies with the breeds and is not at all accurate. I suggest learning how to vent sex or wait until around this age to tell

Feather sexing only works for breeds that were specially bred to be feather sexed.
The chick in pic #2 is definitely a cockerel. #3 might be as well. The others look like pullets.

Thanks everyone! Yep, was not relying on feather sexing due to them being mixed, but took a look anyway.
I had the same feeling about 2 and 3 - we should be able to find homes for them though

These chicks are now 12 weeks old and am still unsure about chick 4 sex! Also I’m wondering what mix of breeds 3 and 4 are. The white one I think is a boy but not sure of breeds. The farm has lavender Araucana and Brahma, so could be a bit of those in there maybe? I don’t know??
The black one came from a blue egg so definitely part LA, but could also have a bit of black Maran.

For 12 weeks, the combs say cockerel, but the saddle feathers seem of those of a hen. No idea on the breed, but are both beautiful.

All three are cockerels.
Mixed breeds.
