Short summary: please look at the pictures on this post and let me know if you see one that looks like a girl. They are going to be given away on Saturday. The next post down shows some supposed girls the same age, for comparison.

Longer post that really doesn’t need to be read:

I am growing out too many chicks and don’t have enough room to continue growing them all out! They are about 7-9 weeks old right now. I found someone willing to take my extra boys on Saturday, which will be so helpful for me. Can you help me by sharing your opinion on some of these chicks??

I want to give away all the for-sure boys, but if any of them are likely girls I should hang on to them. However, if they are probably boys, I should give them up now because it is so difficult to find homes for boys here.

I am pretty positive on most of these being boys, but there are a couple that I can’t tell on because they have feathers kind of growing in, in the area that I thought was all comb. Any insight appreciated, and please don’t hate me for posting this with such young chicks that are difficult to sex breeds.

If I end up giving away a girl or two that’s okay, I just don’t want to give a bunch of them away.

The paint chicks are the ones I am most curious about!! The NNs and the blacks I am almost sure are boys. So if you really want to help, I could sure use opinions on #2, #5 and #6. Numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8 I am sure are the boys. I have until Saturday to decide! Thanks everyone

Oh no, the photos posted all in random order!! Well if you just look at the paint chicks, I put a number on each picture so you can let me know what you think on those ones if possible! Thanks sooo much everyone!

Are the people you're giving them to friends/neighbors? If that's the case they shouldn't mind waiting a bit until you know for sure.

Unfortunately no, they live over an hour away. So they will be in town this weekend and easiest to pick them up then. I think I’ll just let all of those paints go, unless I look them over again on Saturday and get girl vibes from any of them!

If they only want males, maybe they'd be glad to have the option of returning them if they're female . . . couldn't hurt to mention it . .?

I took pics of all the chicks today and posted them on my chicks thread. If anyone wants to look at this post - it is where I posted all of the chicks that Im not sure on. I also have posts above it of the presumed girls and presumed boys. I don’t know why I am struggling so much with figuring out what to do with these chicks.
