For giggles.....ages and sex

[Ht2614]

I got all do these little dudes from a feed store 2 weeks ago. I'm thinking the Olive Egger (1) New Hampshire Red (2), blue austrolorpe (3) and Wyandotte (4) are 3 weeks old are this point. The black copper maran maybe 4-5? That one is a big girl (hopefully). Curious what y'all think about ages and sex as this is my first time with chicks. Much thanks

Maybe just quickly change the title to something more “family friendly“ so this thread doesn’t get taken down

Done and done. Wasn't sure about that one

A bit early to be sure but look like pullets IMHO

Welcome to BYC! They are too young to tell. Agree they look to be about three weeks of age. I recommend re-posting updated photos at approximately six weeks of age.
The Wyandotte may take a little bit longer to tell.
Congratulations with your little flock.

I had an LOL moment there.

Thank you! I'm very excited to have them. Any thoughts on how old the black maran looks? Shes about 2-3 times the size of the others and almost fully feathered. Trying to figure out if shes going to need to go out to the coop earlier than the others, or if I should just keep them all together. I have a barred rock about her age and size as well.

She could be a bit older. I would guess about five weeks of age she still has some fuzz on her head. If they are used to being together you can just keep them all together until they’re already to go out. Either way.

Almost though this was a yes/no question till you broke out the baby pictures.
