English Chocolate Orpingtons - What gender? 5 wks old

[Rhodebar Lover]

Both cockerels! Just a fun guess!

Two pullets and a cockerel! At this age I just assumed I had all boys because I wasn't used to the slow rate of sexual dimorphism of the English strains! Just thought I'd throw this out there so the OP can stay hopeful!

Just because I'm feel like conniving, what would you all guess that the genders of my English Orps is at the exact age (4 weeks and 3 days-five weeks old in pics)? They have all grown now so genders are confirmed but I think it will help exhibit how you really can't accurately sex them at this age, only if a cockerel is especially visible View attachment 2826281

One cockerel and one pullet?

1 and 2 are cockerels. 3 could go either way, although suspicious. 4 is a pullet thus far.

1 and 2 are definitely cockerels, and 4 turned out pullet but I’m still wondering about this one #3

How old are they now? This is the one I was undecided on back at 5 weeks.

8 weeks old now.

8 weeks old now.

For 8 weeks I am unsure...still suspicious though.

Hoping @Overo Mare and @Rhodebar Lover chime in!

Here’s pictures of my other 3, the 2 males are pretty obvious.

I have never owned English orps myself, but I still lean cockerel. Rhodebar Lover has owned them though.
