Boys or girls???10 and 11 wk old chicks

These are the last three of the older 8 chicks that I still don't know what they are. I'm thinking hens but have been wrong alot with this group.

These are mixes of OEG hens and a feather footed father we think might be a brahma or just a mix.

They all look like hens to me.

Usually with the smaller single-comb breeds, the big combs on cockerels are well developed by this age. There's always exceptions to that, but I would be willing to bet money they are all hens.

From what I heard, comb sexing is not the best way.

Feather sexing is a good one.

THey looks like hens due to the fact they have rounded feathers around the tail.

I vote hens!

 

[silkiechicken]

I say hens too.

 

[peepkeeper]

Yup. You have hens (lucky!)

Thank you so much Im glad to hear they are hens this was our first hatching experience and we ended up with 7 maybe 8 hens there is still one silky cross that we are not sure about. Out of 13 I say thats not to bad of odds.

To bad all the hens seem to be plain red or golds our little roos have such cool colors.

Thanks again
