Buff Gender?

[chickiechick12]

Hi Everyone! Here are 6 out of my 8 chickens. I'm guessing 2 are roosters?

1- Chickie (Hen?)

2- Jack (Rooster?)

3-Hennie (Hen?)

4-Penny (Hen?)

5-Honey (Hen?)

6-Roo (Rooster?)

I also have 2 more... Buffy and Bella who look just like the hens (as far as I know)

Thoughts??

I'm guessing two cockerels and four pullets.Number 2 and number 5 look like the boys to me. Feathering isn't as good as the girls, tails are coming in slowly and they have little combs started. I think whoever put the blue cable ties on them had the right idea. Our two boys looked the same at that age.

40 years raising chickens here..2 and 6 are roos

Good grief there are six pictures there. Oh well, number two and number 6 are roos IMHO.

It's been one of those days.

I made the same mistake!

Thanks for clearing my mind everyone! I had those 2 pegged (or zip tied) as roos since 3 weeks old. I was also a little OCD about studying their looks and behaviors. First time chicken owner and having a lot of fun with them! I'll let them get a bit older to know for sure but I'm glad everyone is in agreement...

Now, what do I do with Jack and Roo?!
