4 week old chicks!

[ManitobaQuail]

We have only two cuties that are 4 weeks old. Wondering if they can be sexed already? Barnyard mixes.

Awww how cute! Sorry since I’m not a chicken expert I can’t tell what they are but they are adorable! Do they have nameSS?

2 is a cockerel. Still a bit too early for 1, but leaning toward pullet.

Not an expert but 1 is looking like a pullet 2 cockerel?? They are both really cute

Thank you that’s our guesses as well. How old can they be sexed accurately? 8 weeks? 12?

With how number 2 is maturing I think we should be able to tell accurately by 8 weeks but most of the time if you wanna be as accurate as possible you could wait until about 12 weeks when the hackle and saddle feathers come in.
