Gender? 2 Week Old Chicks***UPDATED PHOTOS AT 18 WKS OLD***

[cmitchell]

Any guesses on these 2 week old chick's genders? Still a little young but fun trying to guess.

Not sure if it's going to be cream cockerel or buff pullet. This one's father is Buff Brahma, mother is Light Brahma.

I'm thinking cockerel. This one I'm not sure of mother/father. I have 1 BB roo & 1 EE?/mixed roo. My hens are LB, BSL, EE/cross & PBR. I don't think the BB roo/hen are the parents because this chick's legs aren't feathered (I think feathered legs are dominant?).

This is my EE?/mixed rooster that may be father to black chick.

Seems a little early to tell. I completely understand trying though! I am trying on mine daily! If I had to guess, based on absolutely nothing but gut, I would say the cream colored is a roo and the other is a pullet. Wings are short and the stance seems... different, lol. Is that what you were looking for? Try to post more pics in a couple weeks... Remember, I am totally guessing...

my guess would be the top one is a roo and the blackish one is a hen. From my own limited experience, the hens had the tail feathers first. Good luck!

I thought I would post pictures of those two chicks at 18 wks old. Quite a difference I think.

This is the greyish white chick (above)

This is the black chick (below)

They look too early to tell.

Chick1043,
Those chicks in the OP are now 18 weeks old. I just posted pictures of them that I took a day ago.

Both look like roos to me.

 

[cmitchell]

Yes, they are both roos.
