Daycare chicks pullets or roosters

[ChristieB]

Hiya, after opinions on my chicks, my sons daycare had a "hatching experience" I bought 2 chicks and the hatchery guy gave me 2 more. I don't have much luck with chicks, my last lot ended up being 4/6 roosters!
Anywho, they are roughly 3 weeks old (give or take a couple days) lohmanns and 1 Australorp, so by my thinking the reds should be pullets the white a rooster, what do you think? I'm worried they're all roosters.

Lohmann 1

Lohmann 2

Lohmann 3, Being the smallest at the time "hes" being raised by my broody to keep my lone araucana chick company (cat killed the other 2 that hatched )

The two reds are pullets. The white is a cockerel. I am suspicious that the australorp may be a cockerel too but it's a little too early to be certain.

That australorp is definitely a rooster.

The Australorp looks like your only cockerel to me.

I think so too.

Lohmann is one of a number of labels under which Red Sex Links are marketed and can be sexed by color. The reddish chicks are female and the white chick is a male. Given the size and redness of its comb and wattles at that age, your Australorp is a cockerel.

Yes lohmanns should be able to be colour sexed but it's not 100% but usually the white ones are guaranteed roosters. It's comb is still smaller than the red ones though, it's at most 3 days younger, I don't know exactly what day they hatched but it was one of the smallest the day I got them , would that make so much difference or is it the 1% of oddballs

I got a couple red sex links this year. I bought two obvious pullet chicks and 2 that were more ambiguous. They were darker in color than the white males but lighter than the red pullets. The 2 lighter ones feathered in white but they were pretty slow to develop their big red combs. The difference in feather color was pretty much the only difference between the males and females until they were 6-8 weeks old. I kept hoping that they were just some leftover pullets of another breed that were in the wrong bin at the feed store. They definitely turned out to be red sex link cockerels though...
