Cockerel? Pullet? Getting attached..... (pics)

[Naz223]

So these little girls are our babies.....my problem is, I have one New Hampshire Red, and I am paranoid about HER turning out to be a HIM! I can't compare her to anything because I only have the one NH Red, the other 3 are of different breeds. Plus, I am new to raising chicks. It would sure be sad if our little Banjo turned out to be a cockerel. We love them all dearly, but would not be able to keep a rooster where we live. What do you think? Too soon to tell? They are about 3 1/2 weeks old...I think. Banjo has always been bigger, so we think she's a bit older than the rest. (I also have 2 golden laced Wyandottes and 1 Dominique)

Can you get clear head shots of each one please

It's a little early to tell, but when the hackle feathers come in, you'll know. Cute chicks! Mary

Like Mary says, it is a bit too early to say for sure...one encouraging thing is I don't see a lot of redness around the comb and I don't see any wattles coming in either. These tend to be much more prominent in the roos.

No redness at all and no sign of waddles

I'm remaining hopeful, only time will tell

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya!

I managed to get three, the other Wyandotte looks exactly the same though.
