I have three new chicks and as I am new to these breeds, wondering if anyone has a guess as to the genders. They will be six weeks old tomorrow. The first is a blue Andalusian and I’m pretty sure it’s a pullet. The other two I’m not so sure about. One is a silver spangled Hamburg and the other is a Fibro Easter Egger - Everything on (and in) this bird is black so unable to tell by comb/feather coloring. Any guesses?

Thank you so much to all who replied. All pullets - That’s what we were hoping. The tail feathers on the fibro weren’t like the neat & nicely rounded ones on our older hens (different breeds though), so we were concerned. Thanks again!
 
I felt the same way on the black and white one.
Totally agree. Her/his tail feathers are much shorter, but not the nice rounded feathers I’m used to seeing on my four older hens. Fingers crossed all three of these are pullets.
 
Thank you so much… Do you see anything different in the tail feathers of the Hamburg and the fibro that would indicate maybe roo?
Tails have no meaning at this age. Unless they're early maturing breeds.
