Hi.

One of my hens hatched 7 chicks a little over 10 weeks ago. They're growing well and I'm pretty sure I've got at least 3 pullets and 3 cockerels, but I thought I'd ask for your opinion. So here's some pics of my chicks.

Chick #1: Suspected Cockerel

(I'm almost thinking this one could be a pullet)

Any and all of your advice is very welcome and appreciated

Normally we'd just wait until the chicks were 25 weeks or so before we cared who's who, but this year we've decided we're going to remove the young roosters early on so we hopefully won't have a problem with them pestering our hens this year.

Thanks a ton

Thanks guys!! This really helps me know that I at least know a wee bit about sexing chicks at a semi-young age.

And thanks ChOOkens, they're just barnyard mutts, but the white cockerels would be Columbian Wyandotte mixes, the black pullet I'm assuming Cuckoo Maran mix, and the brown pullet maybe Araucana mix.

Thanks again every one
