Are these three all roosters? Two 4 week old Pekin Bantams and one Serama

Interested to see pictures of chicks now?
I have the same 3 flock now at 4.5 weeks also

I have just posted some updated photos I would love to see how your flock are developing if you have any photos?

The white Pekin is a pullet.

Pullet.

They are beautiful!

Looks like the black chick and the clean-legged white chick are cockerels. I think the feather-footed white is probably a pullet.

Thanks everyone! I have just ended up with another 5 day old pekin chicks (a breeder near us is struggling to get rid of them in lockdown and we have plenty of space) so will probably be hassling you all for more gender guesses in a few weeks time

Pekins are the best. It's a good thing I dont live close to another breeder.

Post updated pictures of these cuties when they're about 6 weeks old and we'll help you again.

Hi everyone - these guys are now just over 6 weeks old. I think it's pretty clear the black pekin and serama are roos, but leaning towards pullet for the white pekin, unless it's a very late developing boy. Still doesn't seem to have much comb or wattle growth - do other people agree?View attachment 2135442View attachment 2135443View attachment 2135441

Looks like you’re right so far.
The pekin cockerel actually looks like a blue birchen, not a black. The probable pullet looks like blue columbian.

Oh thank you for confirming colours! Pekins seem to come in so many varieties I didn't have a clue what they were. I think the pekin cockerel is going to be very handsome so keeping everything crossed that he isn't the loudest so we can hold on to him

This is my opinion.

Hi everyone - long time chicken keeper, first time chick mama!

Wondering if anyone can take a guess at the gender of these three chicks. Up until a few days ago I was convinced the black pekin was a pullet and the white pekin was a roo - black pekin was by far the most timid and had a more pullet posture, while white pekin was the bully, had a more upright posture and I have even caught him/her doing this odd thing where he/she extends her neck upwards with her beak wide open as if doing a silent crow.

Alll of a sudden black pekin has sprouted this headgear while white pekin still has none. Everything about white still makes me think late developing rooster though, so would love to hear the opinions of some more experienced chicken people

I have nothing to compare the serama to (it's my first) and surprisingly few serama chick photos on the web, so not sure if this amount of headgear at four weeks is pullet or roo looking. It does awfully love to chirp away all day, and you can see in my photos it has a smidge of red at the top back of it's beak which I'm not sure is another indicator of a roo?

Got a sneaking suspicion I've got three cockerels - let me know your thoughts and thanks for your help




The white Pekin is a girl and the black is a rooster and the serama is a rooster possibly maybe a girl. Most of the time the girls will grow their tail feathers out faster the the boys will and same as the wing feathers. And a little tip I found is the girls on their wing feathers have a double lining of feathers that go all the way out. Where as the boys don't have that double layer of feathers on there wings. And the boys take longer to grow their tail feathers most of the time.
