Can anyone tell me the sex of these two 6 week old chicks?

[Poultry parent]

So I have two 6 week old chicks that were hatched as part of a chicken incubation class, the eggs were donated by people who had fertilized eggs from their flock, and I don't know what sex they are. The white one is a silkie,red sex link mix, and the brown one has unknown parents.

Usually I'd say it's a bit young to be sure, but I'd say you've got one cockerel (white) and one pullet (brown).

One of each, white one is a cockerel, dark one is a pullet.

Agree.

Ok I thought so, how many hens to one rooster?

 

[Gray Farms]

For what purpose? Breeding?

 

[Poultry parent]

No I just wanted to see if I had enough hens, I doubt I do but still

 

[Gray Farms]

If your just wanting them for eggs you don't need a rooster.

 

[Poultry parent]

I know, it's just the we already have a roo and I want to know if we have enough hens to keep them both

space is more important than hens. If they have plenty of room to call their own they'll be fine "they'll still fight some". If they are in a small coop they will fight alot.
