Was wondering if these babies I had were old enough to tell thier sex? I have 5 of them but I have trouble telling them apart!! So I attempted to take pictures of 5 different chickens but I do not know if I did, they may be repeats!! Thank you to whomever can help me

sorry to say 1,2,3, and 5 look like roos to me but Im no expert. I have RIR and they look kind of similar and about where the smaller ones were at around 20 weeks.
 
#3 and #5 look like they have saddle feathers, but they also look a lot alike. Maybe that's your repeat and you only have one roo?
 
1- Roo
2- Roo
3- Roo
4- Hen
5- Roo
Hopefully you have repeat pic's, like you said, or else.....uhoh....!

i have a rooster problem too by last batch of 17,10 were roos the ingrates i hatched them and cared for them and 10 were roos oh well but that is ancient history.
 
Ohhhh lovely!!!! Well I will try to take seperate pictures of them tonight when they are in the coop. Maybe (hopefully) I took 4 pics of the same rooster haha, but knowing my luck I didnt. Oh well!!
 
1. Cockerel
2. Cockerel
3. Cockerel
4. Pullet
5. Cockerel
5. Goat...with frizzle cochin and silkie...
6. Goat! LOL!

They're New Hampshire Reds right?
 
The lady I bought them off of told me that they are RIR but I do not think they are!
 
The only one that looks obviously rooish to me is #3, because the saddle feathers are pointy. The others have a few downward pointing saddle feathers, but they look pretty rounded....

#4 is definitely a pullet.

Love your darling goat!
