4 week old chicks roos??

[newchick39]

Hi I'm new to raising chickens we have 6 4 week old chicks and I was told they were girls but two are looking like roosters to me one is a barred rock






the other is the Easter egger



any thoughts thanks in advance also if anyone knows if this is a buttercup chicken or not that would be great it looks like it to me but i'm new at this thanks again

I think that both are pullets.

that makes me feel so much better my kids are getting very attached. thank you

The first two are pullets. The last looks like an Easter Egger. And it looks like a cockerel. There is clearly some 'rooster' red coming in on the shoulders.

Oops, I missed that last chick - can you provide a clearer shot of the comb? It may be a buttercup, and as junebuggena says quite possibly a cockerel. Post pictures again in two or three weeks.

I hope this helps she is the smallest of my chicks and loves when you hold her really hoping for a girl she has greenish legs but no bread. so red means rooster?

here are some pics of all the chicks



so you can see the size difference the first one is at about 2 weeks old the bottom is 1 week old she is really tiny.

That comb confirms it's a Buttercup. But that coloring is all cockerel. Females are a lighter gold color.
MyPetChicken has a good comparison photo of a rooster and hen. That rich red is a male only thing.

She well i guess he was the last one i would've thought was a rooster he likes to snuggle up to us and sleep in our hands. I live where we cant have a rooster ill have to find someone for him. Thank you all for responding soo should i even wait a few weeks to make sure its definitely a roo do i have any hope??
