I think I have my first almost guaranteed cockerel of my batch of chicks. I'm suspicious of a few others as well, but....this one I'm almost certain is a cockerel. Wattles are coming in already and fairly pink. Comb is getting color and big compared to others. Even my other suspected boys. Of course breed could probably impact that, also. Both of which I have no experience with. So, I need opinions. Lol. Luna or Luka?

I have a couple others I suspect to be as well. If anyone wants to take a guess I'll post them too? 😬🙂
 
Bug (OE X marans) Stormy (barred rock mix) and Duo (parents are a mystery-but either some deathlayer or white leghorn in there)(who also has a small comb, I suppose. But coloring is real masculine I think. And I like him a lot so 🥹😂 I'm just assuming. Lol.) I'll post a body pic of Duo. All are four weeks.

Aside from the two body shots of Duo, these are the three who I have been leaning pullet towards. The first is a barred rock mix who i'm iffy on, but looks more girly then the other BR mix. The UIblack marans mix I've been thinking pullet from the start. And the last one who I posted two pics of was the largest for a while but now I've been thinking possibly pullet? Aside from these guys I have two others who are, thankfully, sexed already by color. Lol. I have so my boys out of this go. I'm hoping for at least a couple of pullets. 🤞

All look like cockerels to me, but Duo may be a pullet although leaning cockerel.
