Can you help me confirm the sex of my chicks?

[jeapa]

I think I have the sexes right, but I would like some confirmation from those with more experience than I. All of my chicks came from Meyer's so they are hatchery stock. All of these chicks will be 6 weeks old on Monday.

RIR # 1 - I think this is definitely a cockerel do to the comb and wattle developement.



RIR # 1 Another shot



RIR # 1 Last shot



RIR # 2 I think is a Pullet



RIR # 3 I think is a pullet also.



BR #1 I think is a pullet



BR # 2 I think is a pullet



BR # 3 I have no clue.



BR # 3 Another shot. The comb is yellow, but this chick is taller then the others.




I will post my Columbian Wyd. chicks in another thread. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Yep youve got them all right, Good Job

However keep an eye on BR number 3..im a little dubious as s/he has wattles already coming through...

Thank you. Yes I have been wondering about # 3. S/he is not as light colored as most of the BR roos that I have seen, but s/he stands more upright. I guess time will tell for sure.

First RIR looks like a roo to me. The rest look like pullets except maybe the last BR.

Barred rocks are all pullets.
First red is a cockeral.
Second red may be a cockeral. It has shading on the wings and some thickish legs. Just have to watch and see.
Third red looks like pullet.

I have a couple of updated photos. It is amazing how much they have grown in 2.5 weeks. Here is RIR #1 I am sure I have a roo.






I am still not sure about BR #3, but I am leaning towards a pullet.

they both look like pullets to me.

Even the RIR? That chick has a very red comb and wattles and large thick feet compared to the others. Most have agreed that is a roo, but he hasn't crowed yet and I am just going by others advice.

its just the comb. I have a RIR rooster, so your RIR is a pullet cause the tail is supposed to be geting big, and that blackish grreen, and she has nothing like that. one of my RIR pullets has a big comb, but does not mean thats she is a rooster. and your RIR, is a pulet cause all her tail feathers are the same length, ill post a puc later today so you can see!
