I think they are 5 weeks?

Yeah, those developing combs are male for sure. Can you get a side shot of the pale combed one?

5 week old EE. Any thoughts on genders?

I believe the top one is a Pullet, but I'm not certain with the other one. Any thoughts?

Pullet
I am leaning toward cockerel on this one, but it is too early to be entirely sure.

It's still to early to be entirely sure, but for now it seems you have 1-2 cockerels. Post more pics in another week or so, and by then we should be able to give you more definite answers.

@thatdirtyhippie I suspect 3&5 are cockerels but they aren't done feathering so it's more guess/intuition than anything.

It's too early to tell for sure on the bottom one (The top one is a pullet), but it has a small, single row comb and a fairly even coloring, so I'm going to guess pullet. Feel free to post more photos in another week or so.

Too young to be certain. No obvious cockerels yet.

Too young to be certain, #2 and #5 are probably cockerels.

Thanks for the response #2 were not sure of her breed. It is a mystery chick... it has a single comb.. not like any of the others and it has feathered feet.... so we're unsure of her breed too

Thanks for your reply... #2 is a mystery chick. We don't know the breed of it either. But unlike the EE it has a straight comb and feathered feet..... no signs of waddles yet... so we are hoping maybe the mystery bird is a she...
