Confirm on genders please?

Usually at 5 weeks old my cockerels get big red combs.....but these guys are tricking me a bit.

Roughly 5 weeks old, mixed breed. Still thinking pullets but it would be nice to have reassurance since my last batches of chicks have all been boys.

I would say pullets, but take my advice with a grain of salt. Chickens are really hard to tell their gender, but I feel like they are probably pullets

 

[hcdiffner]

Almost certainly pullets.

Look like pullets to me.

Looking like pullets at this point.

 

[mustangrooster]

Ahh.....thought so. Thankyou all, its great to hear i've finally got some more girls...

 

[Minnowey]

Yup, some pullets.

at this point in time they are pullets, if they suddenly develop red, larger combs- current opinion will go down the tubes. Bird in last photo appears to have sore on left foot/leg- maybe check for mites??

 

[mustangrooster]

@drumstick diva i haven't noticed any individual sores, it might be the claw your seeing? Im not too sure, where are you looking? But the dark coloured legs isn't normal, and both of them have it plus their little sibling, so they do have something going on.

Its being discussed in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1159017/feathered-chick-has-really-badly-bruised-legs-feet

They look like pullets to me, too.
