Chickens & Heat Lamps

At that age we should be able to make some pretty good guesses as to sex. Can you post some photos? We’d need one showing the head, especially comb and wattles. A shot showing posture, profile, and the legs can be really helpful too.

Since you said they are used to eating at night, it is to be expected that they are bigger than the others. Size can be a clue as to sex but since they were raised separately and fed differently maybe not so much.

I’m surprised it’s only a couple of your younger ones roosting, but that just goes to show no one can accurately predict anything with certainty when it comes to behaviors. We can usually tell what will “normally” or “usually” happen but someone always has an exception.

Here are a few pics and i do believe maybe @EggSighted4Life helped me with the sexing on another post.

Looking at the color of the combs and the size of the wattles, those all look male. How about the other two?

@Ridgerunner any idea on the other two I posted?
