[KettermanHillCoop]

Not sure if I'm too early to ask, but any experts out there in BYCland that can offer up any insight?

5 weeks is to young to sex accurately

Okay, I thought perhaps it was too young. I think pic number 3 is a pretty good cockerel candidate though. lol

At what age should I ask again?

I would call definite cockerel on that one. I would wait another 2 weeks or so.

8 weeks is about the youngest to sex from pictures with accuracy.

Thank you. I'll hold off for another few weeks.

Another few weeks would be best.

3, 4, and 5 are cockerels. The rest are too young to tell. Please post pics of the pea combed birds at 8 weeks, and the single ones at 6.
Oh, the last bird, Salmon Faverolle, correct? Is a pullet. That's a female specific feather pattern.
