5 week old chicks-need to know gender

[morgannn]

Hello! I have a few 5 week old chicks that I need to know if they are cockerels or pullets, because I will need to find a new home for them if they're cockerels I wish I could keep them all, but unfortunately I live in an urburn setting that won't allow that also, I have one mystery chick that I don't know the breed of
Chick #1: rose comb Dominique

Chick #2: light brahma

Chick #3: mystery chick (looks like s/he has a rose comb)

Chick #4: some kind of bantam, I think it's a self blue OEG

Chick#5: same kind of bantam as before, pretty sure he's a cockerel

Chick #6: dark brahma

Chick #7: preduction red I think

It's still early but 1and5 look roo-ish to me.... 3 looks like it's an Easter egger

To young to say for sure but #1, #3, #4, and #5 look suspicious. Also the Dark Brahma is a definite pullet since you can sex them by color.

Awesome! I would love to have blue eggs if it's a EE pullet

Darn! Old wives tales ways of sexing don't work reliably apparently :'( looks like I will be finding some of them a new home pretty soon.

What have you used for sexing? Which old wives tales?

Well at this age you can't be sure and their combs aren't very rooish so there is a chance a few of them maybe pullets.

I used the one that said if you flip them on their back, pullets will keep their legs drawn up to their chest but cockerels will stretch their legs out.
