Hi! I'm a new chicken mom and curious if anyone more experienced could help me sex my bantam flock. I think I have an idea for some, but others change so much everyday I go back and forth on what they are. Thank you for your help! All of them are 4 to 5 weeks old. I know this is somewhat early, but best guesses would be much appreciated. 🤗
Pic 1: "Grandpa" - Buff sebright - I'm guessing cockerel?
Pic 2 and 3: "chicken little" - porcelain d'uccle - my guess pullet?
Pic 4 and 5: "reeses" - golden laced cochin- I think pullet? I have a blue cochin with very red comb and waddles already, that I feel is a cockerel.
Pic 6: "sheriff" - I think he is my Red blue OE, def a cockerel. Already trying to crow, it's the cutest thing. Lol
Pic 7: " no name yet" - mille fleur d'uccle- I think pullet?
Pic 8 and 9: "Bubba's cousin" ( I have a blue silkie and they look alike in color ) - I think it is a pullet and I think it is my lemon blue OE.
Pic 10 and 11: no name- silver sebright- I hope pullet? No clue.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, I can't say for sure, but the first picture looks like cockerel to me. Picture 2 and 3 looks like pullet, but I could be wrong. His/her comb is already pinkish. For picture 4 and 5, I'm guessing pullet. Cochins usually get their combs and wattles in early. Picture 7 looks like pullet. Picture 8 and 9 looks like pullet. Picture 10 looks kind of like cockerel, as his/her comb looks pretty bright.

Thanks for responding! I'll update pics in a couple weeks to see if we're right!

You're spot on. Gosh that little Grandpa is adorable.

Your last d'Uccle is a pullet.

Really? Yes! Thank you. 😊 Grandpa, Sheriff, Chicken little and Lottie just want me to snuggle them and hold them any chance I can. They are so sweet! I love it! Haha I was worried about the last d'uccle. She was "yelling"? the other day and I thought here we go 🙄 another cockerel, but it wasn't like the other ones trying to crow. It was strange. Thanks again for the response!!

The d’uccles and the lemon blue OEGB are your pullets. I see saddle feathers on the gold laced cochin.
 
The d’uccles are your only pullets. I see saddle feathers on the gold laced cochin.
I was afraid of that. I thought maybe because my blue cochin had a large comb and waddles but no tail at 3 weeks and my golden just started getting red and has always had a big tail. I thought maybe there was hope for a pullet. 🥺 thank you
