BPR Chicks - All Boys?

[thailand]

Hi,

These chicks are now 6 weeks old and it's time to move young boys on. Seems to me I have a bunch of boys! Darn! Before I sell these babies can some of you please confirm my assumption of all boys? Thanks so much

Note: The chick in the last two photos I do have my suspicions that could - at a pinch - be a female actually??? What do you think?

Chick No. 1




Chick No. 2



Chick No. 3



Chick No. 4



And lastly, Chick No. 5 who has me questioning gender....very little wattles compared to the others, and yet a decent size pinkish comb?



Lastly, a group shot to give some perspective. No. 5 chick in at the back and in the middle of the photo. You can see how this chick is the lightest of any of them, which adds to my confusion as usually light chicks are male. (The two very dark chicks are definitely females and I'm not questioning their genders.)

(edited: forgot to add the group shot LOL)



Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment.

Only males can have two copies of the barring gene, giving them the lighter appearance. Regardless of comb/wattle development, lighter coloring equals male.
