Are we Pullets or Cockerels??

[MemaDeb]

My 3 little ones hatched out July 6th...Could someone please help me identify the sex? And Breed? The Rooster is a Barred Rock. Thanks!!

They are adorable! They're too young to guess sex however, and I'm not sure about breed.

They are all at least half barred rock. Probably mixes, but that first one looks like it might be a pure barred rock. To young to guess genders though.

The last picture that has the 2 beside each other I am thinking is 1/2 Araucana as it has the “Green” legs.
How old before we can identify gender?
They all appear to have rounded tips on their wings vs. pointed which I was told is also an identifier. Is that correct?

Wing sexing only works if they were breed specifically for it. You should be able to guess genders somewhere in between 5-8 week old. Though if the first chick is a pure barred rock, I am pretty positive she is a pullet. Do you have a list of possible moms? That would help in identifying them.

Barred Rock, Welsummer ,EE,
Araucana,
Prairie Bluebell, Brown Leghorn

Ok, so one thing you can look for is sex linked silver. The barred rock rooster will have been silver based. It sounds like most of your hens are gold based. Obviously, not the Barred Rock hen. And I’m not sure about the EE, Auracana or Prairie Bluebell.
But, with a silver rooster over a gold hen, all the offspring will be silver, but the males will be carrying a copy of the gold gene. This can cause them to have yellow-gold leakage. Some people call this “Golden”. So if any of them look yellowey instead of silvery white, then those will be your boys.
Barring is also sex linked, but all of your chicks are going to get a single copy of it, so I don’t think it will make any difference.

Also, if I were to venture to guess just based on their development, I would say girl, boy, girl in the order of the photos.
