Any Guesses Yet?

Much too young yet. Early signs of cockerels don't usually start to show up until after 4 weeks old. Sometimes those indicators aren't visible until about 10 weeks old.

And I believe this is the other one that seems a bit bigger

Thanks for the advice everyone! Would you say they are about a week old now? One already has some pretty prominent tail feathers where the others do not if that's any help.

They look about 2 weeks old.

Much too young, try photos again when 6-8 weeks old.

Just an update, I was looking a bit closer at my sussex chicks today and some are already starting to show noticeable lines under the chin where their wattles will eventually come in. Is this normal at around 2 weeks of age? Can post pictures if needed.

Normal for both genders. Pullets will even flush in their wattles when they are excited.

So here's and update of where we are now. Everyone had pretty large tail feathers and the most recent development is a few of them have almost all their chest feathers too. Let me know if they look like it may be worth taking more detailed pictures at this point and I will!

Nobody looks like an obvious cockerel yet. But it is still very early, yet.

As of yesterday I'm starting to see some pinkish combs standing out like a sore thumb on a couple of them!
