Curious what the experts think

[ldawntaylor]

I got these chicks a little over two weeks ago. I'm sure it is early yet on gender. I don't want to influence the opinions so will keep what I was told to myself for now.

Each picture is of a different bird.

Any input or opinions is appreciated.

Much too young to tell, although i have noticed a more oval shape head and longer beak has meant cockerel in four of our breeds as chicks. Good luck!

2 Silver Laced Wyandottes and some Easter Eggers. As for sex, your guess will be better then ours at this stage, as you can see personality of the individual birds, and how they are muscling out. If you notice a chick getting solid faster, feathering slower, standing prouder, and being more dominate... those are all signs of a cockerel.

For us looking at photos, we would need them to be a bit older and more feathered out to give an accurate response.

Thanks. It will be interesting to see what happens.

The chicks are out in the integration pen now. If rain seems probable I will put a tarp over part of the pen. I may put them in the pet carrier, inside the henhouse at night for awhile. We will see what is needed.

So far they are settling in nicely.

I'm far from being an expert, but smart enough to know that any gender guess right now is just that - a guess.

For me part of the fun of chicks is the guessing.

Absolutely!

Exactly! Just don't forget to come back to tell us the results! I hate it when I don't know the final answer!
