Any ideas?

Take a look at their legs & the thicker the legged chicks will be your cockerels or the bigger the comb the better chance of a cockerel. They're still you young to check the wing feathers but when they do start getting them you can tell the diff that way. The cockerels wing feather will end w/ a blunt straight line where as the pullets wing feathers will end w/ a slant.

I really hope they are all pullets! They were sold as pullets but you never know lol

It's kind of hard to tell from the pics, but I think you do have pullets. I'm basing that on their dark legs and dark fluff color. I raised Bantam Barred Rocks and you can usually pick out the sexes of Barred chicks by using those clues.

Well I certainly hope you are right. I bought them sexed but I know thats not 100
I have a rooster already he just showed up last year and never left lol. Hes not overly friendly and I dont think I could have two!

Hi my girls are 10 days old now when would be a good age to start being able to tell with more certainty ? Here's a few updated pics

I have only raised 2 doms and I hatched them. I thought both were girls (I mean, they are 5 months old now!) but one is starting to look roo to me. And I've been raising birds for a long time! LOL! Apparently the line I have are late bloomers! At least I have a pair! Cute babies!
