Hi all,my 7 chicks are 5 weeks old and I would love to know what gender you think the chicks are at this stage or whether I should wait a few weeks?I already suspect 3 boys,3 girls and a maybe but nothing concrete.They are a mix of my rooster who is a Buff Orp/EE mix and possible mothers being:Buff Orps,Buff rock,EE,RIR/mix,Speckled Sussex.Sorry if it's pic heavy I have no idea how to make the pics smaller!:oops:

I see 2-3 definite roos, I would wait until they are 7 weeks to see more accurately
 
I hope you have better luck than I did! My broody hatched out 7 barnyard mixes that are 9 weeks now and 5 of them I’m for sure are cockerels 😒

I see 3 of yours that look like cockerels but that’s just a guess. I’m no expert!
 
Thanks for the responses everyone,I will definitely re-post in a few weeks to get a more accurate look at them.
