8 week old mixed breed chicks. Can you tell the gender yet?

I am thinking the orange one is a pullet. She has hardly any comb. I am questing the darker gray is a young rooster. They are part Easter egger. Is that why the puffy cheeks?

Those all look like pullets.

If one of the parents was an EE then the chicks would also be considered EEs.

Yes, the puffy cheeks come from the Easter egger side of the family. I think all are pullets but you're right, the darker gray bird is the one to watch, because it has a bit of color to the comb.

How old are these? Right now looks like all Pullets to me.

I think Pullets for now, 1 of the dark ones should be watched closely but keep us posted please.
