8.5 week old Speckled Sussex genders?

[Crs1]

I got them the first week of March and the pic was taken the day I posted it here. Looks like about 10-11 weeks. But he’s looked like that for 2-3 weeks at least

I can't "like" your post... because there is nothing likable about having to get rid of feather babies

Moving them outside is a far cry from getting rid of them! Shoot, mine are only kept indoors for a day or so until I know they're eating, drinking, and know where Mama Heating Pad is to warm up, and until I know they aren't suffering from shipping or hatching stress. Yep, that means days-old chicks living outside in a pen inside the run in Northwestern Wyoming. I "get rid of" mine early and don't regret it one bit!

It's hard moving them outside to the coop, but they are always much happier after they get the space to be chickens!
