I am a new chicken mom. I ordered all "females" but then I got around to researching and now I'm not sure, they are almost 2 weeks old. Basically I should not have Googled lol.
I would love any help I can get from people that know what to look for, feather wise or disguishing marks to determine gender. My Barred rock has a white head, which I read means male, I hope not. Thanks in advance and sorry for picture overload.
I have
1 Barred rock
1 golden laced Wyandotte
1 Easter egger
1 cream legbar
1 blue laced red Wyandotte

If a chick isn't an autosexing breed or intersex cross, it can't be sexed for certain. The best chick sexers can get about 90% accuracy. If you ordered all females, probably at least most of them are females, though it is statistically possible for it to go funky.

I ordered from a hatchery and tried asking how they sexed the chicks, but did not hear back....fingers crossed they are female.
 
You can't tell at this point. Those aren't autosexing or sex link (the word is NOT intersex, I got that mixed up, it's sex link cross) as far as I can tell, so there's no way to be 100% certain whether they're male or female.

Correction: cream legbars are autosexing, I think. That one is definitely a female if I'm right about that. The rest, you can't be sure.
