That technique doesn't work so well with hatchery-bred chicks. If you bought straight run, you'll likely be able to see the difference by 4 weeks, 8 at the very latest.

Sort of updated pics lol I’m now for sure 3 boys 1 girl lol the one I was thinking was a girl is darker than the others as well as has tail feathers and wing feathers came before the other 3. It’s hard to tell in the pics but in the group she is up top and the single pic is her. I will see if I can get better pics tomorrow and see what y’all think. O and the hubby decided to grab some 50 cent 3 day old chicks at tsc yesterday I said pullets and only 4 since the last group of 8 looks like only 3 girls and 5 boys...he settled on 6...daughter (10) called to rat him out he got 8

Ok some better pics I hope.....these buggers are fast lol the 3 lighter ones comb is taller than the darker one so I really am thinking 3 cockerels 1 pullet. They are a lil over 3 weeks now. Definately can tell stripes (pullet?) on right.

Sounds like chicken math has struck him pretty hard.
Chicks are just irresistible.

And yes, your little cockerels are pretty darned obvious now!

Chicks r definately irresistible! I told him pullets bc last batch holds 5 out of 8 cockerels and we know all roosters go to freezer except my b.orpington so I wanted more layers however he said the extra 4 jumped in the box so he felt bad and decided they needed a home hahaha it has turned into a chicken obsession!

That sounds like something my husband would say!

BTW, he has similar misfortune in the snacks department at the grocery store. Stuff somehow jumps into his basket and he's powerless to stop it. It's the darndest thing!
