Gender of 4.5 Week Old Chicks

[10LilChicks]

Hi! Is it still too early to determine their genders? They all hatched on April 4th. Please let me know what you think they are. They are numbered. I am especially curious about 9 and 10. Thanks!

3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Look like cockerels. Actually, 1, 2 and 4 look like for certain pullets.

They are a little young to say for sure but here goes
1,2,4, 5,6,7 hens
the rest cockerels

I doubt that there will be any argument on #3, with that comb and wattles he's got going on, pretty sure he's a cockerel

The rest could go either way but I'm leaning toward 9 and 10 being cockerels also.
I'm on the fence about #7, such thick legs!
Others will chime in soon!

I agree 100%! I know 3 and 8 are cockerels. 8 still doesn’t have a tail! I’m pretty sure I have 3 White Leghorn hens…I am hoping the other 3 RIR’s are hens.

Having a tail or not doesn't mean anything.

Someone told me their tails grow much slower. I am still confident #8 is a male.

3,9,8, and ten are certain cocks, and I’d keep and eye on 7 and 6, but the others I’m guessing pullets. Good luck with those boys
