Breed and gender

[Lcs21]

Hi everyone. We’re new to chicken raising and purchased our chickens from a local farm. I have tried to figure out their breeds and genders but feel like I’m failing . They are 4 weeks old. Can anyone help identify their breads and also their gender? Thank you!!!!

The first three pictures are Red Sex Link pullets. The brown one in the fourth and sixth picture could be a Speckled Sussex. I'm not sure what the white one is.

#1-#3. These look to be Red Sex Link pullets
#4. Speckled Sussex, if standard-sized, and looking very masculine
#5-7. Definite Cochin, maybe Splash in coloration....again, possible cockerel.

All so cute!

I agree with Alexandra33 and thought it was funny the thread was named bread and gender

Female Red Sex-Link pullets.
Male Speckled Sussex,
And splash/Columbian Cochin, maybe boy.

Thank you for your quick responses. We only wanted females (the farm will take back any males) so my kids will definitely be disappointed two are possibly males.

The first are definitely female red sex links. We have a few around the same age as yours and the look the exact same. The 4th one looks like a male speckled Sussex. I do not know what the last one is... we have never had any breeds that have looked like that before.

why do you only want female do you live in city limits

Not sure about her but we are only allowed to have 4 chickens so while we are allowed to have roosters, I'd rather have hens for the eggs.
