BYM Gender Guess - Nearly 8 weeks old

[maudeflanagan]

Hello Everyone,

I am back with an update. My barnyard mix hatchlings are nearly 8 weeks old and they will be moving on from my house very soon. Before I send them to their new home, I would like to double check on genders. I will be giving up to 5 pullets and 1 rooster to my nephew so he can have a flock of his own. The leftover boys will be posted online and hopefully someone will want them locally. I attempted full body and closeup face photos. If better photos are needed, I will run back out and attempt better shots. Sometimes they are scared of my phone and other times they peck it like crazy. Anywho, onto the photos:






Thank you for looking and I am looking forward to the guesses!

#1 #2 #5 #6 #7 are hens.
#3 #4 look like roos.

3,4 and 6 are cockerels!

#3 and #4 I expected to be male. #6 stands like a male, but the comb/wattle situation has me thinking female. Rhodebar, out of curiosity, what says male to you about #6?

He has dark patches on his shoulders and saddle. Definitely a he!

Understood. The feather color pattern. Poor dude has an undersized comb. He must be heckled by the rest of the boys in the crew
