Boy or Girl 7 weeks

[Sagenovese]

Boy or Girl?

Swedish Flower Hen

Black Australorp

Meyer Meal Maker (White Rock?)

Can anyone help me identify whether these are roosters?
Thanks!

At 7 weeks those combs are very red. I think boy, boy, boy.
Sorry.

I think boy, boy, and number 3 is questionable. I have girls that are 6 months with smaller combs

I agree, three roosters. Sorry for taking over this thread, but I have a six and a half week old serama I am dying to know the sex of! Any guesses anyone?? I have no other seramas for comparison.

They don't seem to have any hackle or saddle feathers. Pullets can have large, red combs just like roosters. What are the ages of those chickens?

Hackle and saddle feathers do not develop until at least 10 weeks old. #1 and 2, cockerel for sure, most likely #3, also, but that's ?able. I'm guessing that since it's a meal maker, it's most likely a male, as the hatchery benefits financially by seeing to it that the mm are males.

Really? Huh, I didn't know that. I had been doing reading on how to tell pullets from cockerels at an early age. It didn't mention that it started at 10 weeks. Good to know. Thanks!

I agree, likely three cockerels. Mary
