Chicks’ Gender

[Iva S.]

I hatched 5 White Leghorn chicks and they are 4 weeks old. I think I’ve got at least 2 roosters. Can someone help sex them?

I prefer to wait until six weeks to attempt sexing chicks, and you'll need side-pictures, not just head pictures so that people can see the tail and feet.

Judging by wattle development, though, I think you have at least three roosters.

Looks like 1 pullet and 4 cockerels

They are adorable! My vote is for 4 cockerels and a pullet.

One is a cockerel and Four is a pullet. The rest may need a little time.
