8 & 4 week chicks

[LavenderMouse]

I have no idea what breed these guys are but If anyone has sex guesses I welcome them!

here are the 8 week old ones first.

Here are my 4 week old ones. I can see a pattern in the wings. does this mean one kind is male and the other female?

Don't know about the breeds, but here are my guesses about sexes:
8 weeks old chicks - the mainly white one with big comb and wattles looks male. The little mostly black and greyish one looks like a pullet, as does the light reddish one. The darker reddish brown one looks male.

For the 4 week olds, I know there are only certain breeds that can be sexed by wing feather development and feather colour. Could you post photos of their heads so I can see their comb and wattle development? It is probably too young to sex them but sometimes it can be obvious even at four weeks.

Picture one looks to be a dark Brahma pullet (female).

Not sure on the others but agree the white and black one looks to be male.

At 8 weeks old any with a red comb are most likely males, so it looks like you have 2 cockerels in that group. The one in the second photo that is standing tall on the left (looks to have a pea comb so may be an EE) and the white one with black flecks which looks like a light sussex or a cross thereof.

Feather sexing I believe is only possible when you cross certain breeds together, so unless you know they are a hybrid that were bred for feather sexing, you are wasting your time looking at feathers. Redness in the comb and possibly wattle development under 10 weeks will usually give the best indication of which are cockerels.

All look to be crossbreds. Some of them look to have a lot of game influence in them.

Where did you get them?

Where did you get them?

They are just local chicks. We live in Ecuador.

Your white one, and the red one, with the long neck are boys. The four week olds are too young.
