4 Weeks old....guess gender?

[HomeGardenGirl]

Roos or hens? They're 4 weeks old. Not sure of breeds.

4 weeks is to young still. Post pictures at around 8-9 weeks of age.

Still to early to tell, but it looks like maybe one cockeral and one pullet. Maybe somebody else can help weigh in on breed.

It is still early. One looks to have a single comb, the other looks to have a rose comb. The one with the rose comb may be a male, but it should be easier to tell in a couple of weeks. I've been told it helps to wait until they are fully feathered to determine breed and gender. Their legs are awfully dark and feathered, which should help you narrow down breed. They could be crosses.

The rose comb chick is definitely a cockerel. Many chicks I have found are able to be sexed at around 4 weeks. There is an occasional difficult one and certain breeds are much trickier, but in general single combed and rose combed chicks are easier. A chick's comb may pink up slightly at 4 weeks but if ithe comb starts to grow and get pink/red then it's a boy. As for the first chick of yours it is looking like a girl at the moment.

too young

Still a bit young, but I'd keep an eye on your rose-combed baby.

I'm guessing they're mixed breeds.

At this point in the game a guess is just that 'a guess'.

if you just want guesses - they have a 50% chance of being right ( or wrong
