Hey guys so I have 4 barnyard mix chicks. No idea what type of chicken they are. That is not really my concern. I just want to know if they will be laying some eggs for me! So let me know if you think they are hens or roosters. BA026A3E-F75A-4F6F-98F7-D3820F0F6499.jpeg
This first hatched baby, who is the only all white, I suspect to be a rooster.

The second and fourth appear to be females. Maybe the 3rd. The first is certainly a male.
Can i ask what traits you are looking at! I agree with #1 being a cockerel, but the grey one, brown one and small one (2,3,4 respectively) i believe to be hens. Based off the fact their comb is not large and they don’t have the cheek hanging things. The 4th one i am not 100% sure though.

The comb, wattles (under their chin) and leg width. Females are only hens if one year or older :) your girls would be called Pullets.
#3 has more comb, so could be a male.
8 weeks is best for visual sexing.
