8 Week Old Breed and Gender Help Please!

[Lulu1218]

I think 5,6 and probably 9 are Roos, the rest look like hens to me, but I'm no expert! Looks like you have some mixes, but your barred chicks look like my barred rock pullet. Mine is hatchery, so not up to breed standards, but def. a barred rock and def. a pullet. Good luck! Hopefully you will end up with less roos than you fear!

Thanks so much. Three roosters wouldn't be the end of the world, but 8 is pushing it. Haha. I hope you are right!

Any more guesses? Atleast 2 confirmed rooster have to go by this weekend!!

2 & 3 look like tetra tint pullets to me. I couldn't get the picture any bigger on 2 - possible amberlink if it has brown on it (instead of black).

Also 1, 4, 5, 6 I think are def. roos. Maybe the brahma too

Thanks! I am tallying up the responses. 2 roosters will go to other homes this weekend!!

Any others on the sexes? Should I wait to see if any of the suspected roosters may be hens?

1. Barred rock, Female.
2. Amber White, Female.
3. Amber White, Not sure maybe male.
4. Barred Rock, too hard to tell from picture.
5. Rhode Island Red, Female.
6. Rhode Island Red, Male.
7. Rhode Island Red, Female.
8. Barred Rock, Maybe female.
9. Easter Egger or Aruacauna, Sex??
10. EE?, no clue.
11.Barred Rock, Female.
12. Black sex link? Jersey Giant? Female.

Just guesses, but thought I would take a wack at it. Have you figured any sex out for sure yet?

I am positive that 5,6&8 are males. 9 is a possible roo. I think the others are hens. Yay
