5 Weeks, Probably Still Much Too Soon to Determine Sex?

[3KillerBs]

I have 4, 5-week-old Lavender Orpington/SLW crosses -- straight run from a friend's hatch. All *almost* identical, except for a little variance in the tiny bits of white fluff on their faces/necks and the fact that two have all-black combs while the other two have just a tiny bit of pink in the combs.

I'm hoping for 1 cockerel but not all cockerels. Photos are random because until my colored zipties arrive from Amazon I can't tell who is who.

They look to be pullets. They one with a reddish color comb might be a boy.

If true, 1 boy and 3 girls would be exactly what I'm hoping for.

That would take a lot of luck though.

They all look pretty girly to me, so far. The rosecombs can be tricky though. You will likely have to wait it out a bit more.
Colored zip ties are the best! I have two white capped black polish that are interchangeable, that I have ziptied. Advise using colors that are very different from each other if you can, or even using 2 different colors on each, so you can clearly see which is which, even from a distance.

All pullets!

All pullets!

Not normally a sad reaction to that announcement, but I really wanted to get one split-to-lavender cockerel out of the bunch.
