Do i have all ladies?

[chuot]

I have 2 BA, 2 BO, 2 RiR. They are all 6 weeks old. I tried taking the best pics I could but they were not ready for their photo shoot. Please tell me I have all ladies. Thank you.

I am not an expert at this but can you pick one up and spread out one of its wings and send a picture I might be able to help

It might be too late to tell because of their development. When they are chicks you can spread their wings and see if any of the feathers are different sizes which is a girl and all the same is a boy. It is a 50% chance though and as all the others are saying none are screaming cockerel to me. Another trick you might want to try( doesn't mean it will work) is getting a hat and droping it in their pen . If they cower and go away from it,it usually means they are a girl and if they check out the hat they are usually boys. These tricks aren't too accurate but it is still something to do so you can have a guess to what they might be in the future. Sorry I couldn't do anything about the wings and made you do all that work.

Thanks for the info and No worries about the extra work. I go out and tend to them everyday anyways. With everyone saying no huge signs of a cockerel is a big relief. Since it's my first flock I guess I am just eager to know for sure. Will defiantly revisit the issue when they are older to get a definite answer. Thank you again for everyone's help. Now I just need them to learn how to drink from the nipples and go back to their coop on their own.
