These are my 6 week old light sussex cross barnevelders (plus a coronation sussex in there too). Any guesses on genders? Im thinking 3 and 3 at the moment purely based on their combs as their feathering and body type has thrown me completely off! I failed to get an individual snap of the 6th chick 🤦‍♀️
Cheers

Wow, those chicks are chunkers! Taking the picture with all the birds lined up, from left to right-

1 cockerel 2 pullet 3 cockerel 4 pullet 5 pullet 6 cockerel.

I think you are right that you have 3 of each.
Thanks! Aren't they chunkers 😅 haven't done anything different to any other chicks I've raised, but first time with this cross breed rather then straight sussex. So I thought perhaps barnevelders might just be more chunky!
That gender order is the same as what I was thinking, I'll update in a few weeks!
