If it makes you feel any better... I have & had too many bad hatch ratios and moments just like yours.
Always easy to tell when the chooks are not yours but when they are yours you stay in a denial syndrome. It's true, it is a thing. I just made it up now so it is real... like, say it ain't so!!! But good ol BYC peeps yank those rose color glasses right off! Like a band aide.

Will you be culling for food? Then it is not as bad... rehoming is a challenge but very rewarding. You have some nice lookers there so best of luck!!!

My hatches look almost identical to yours lol and I have 2 who look like your #2 at the moment. One is for sure, for sure a boy- though, I still look and hope at 2 months lol. Strangely enough, I THINK I may actually have a pullet with these markings, though maybe just slow to mature... ?
I go from one day to the next thinking... pullet ! no cockerel ...

Even though her comb was red early, it has remained small and not reddened further (yet) and no wattles, "it" goes off on it's own a lot and the tail looks like it is starting to organize so.... pu... pu... pullet...???

This one below is friendly, reddens and plumps more by the week and tail is staying tapered also 2 weeks? older but always progressed to boyhood.

***Forgive them for going to the crappiest places in my yard to get their photos taken, though, they make the crappiest places in my yard...

I have Barred Rock, Brahma and Ameraucana parents, A little Silkie floating around from the past. The Ameraucana/silkie gene is what gives me and then dashes my hopes lol.
