Gender?

Wyandotte #5 I have no idea. But with my luck probably a rooster also.

It looks like all of your assessments are correct, to me.

Wyandotte #6 last one. I think it's a hen. She is not mean. But I have no idea on this one either.

 

[Poultrybreeder]

I think you are correct, and the last one is a hen

What are yalls thoughts on the barred rocks? They only had barred rock pullets for sale, how often does a rooster get thrown in accidentally? I would be happy if he ends up being a rooster, he is very sweet so he is staying either way.

The lighter one definitely looks like a male. Most hatchery sexed chickens are about 90% accurate so there will be some mistakes. I know when our TSC had barred rock pullets I could tell there were quite a few males in there.

It looks like you are correct on all of them! Wyandotte #1 is a cockerel, #2 is a cockerel, #3 is as well, #4 is a pullet, #5 is a cockerel, and #6 is a pullet. I also had that same thing happen with me as your BRs. I bought two pullets from Orschelns, and one turned out to be a roo!

Great! I was really second guessing myself with most of them. Never had rose combs before.

I'm glad I'm in that 10%! Hahaha I'm so happy to have a good little sweet rooster, and it just so happens he's pretty flashy too.

Was hoping for a few more wyandotte hens, but I guess that's what you get with straight run chicks. Might be a good thing though, I don't really like them that much.

I have heard Rhode Island's are wild. But my two are very flighty and scared of being handled. And I even hand raised them all inside for a few weeks. It's cool to see how different breeds have different personalities. But the Barred rock is definitely my favorite by far, personality and looks.

Thanks everyone!!

You did a great job sexing them , agree with your decisions.

These are the two Rhode Island Reds. The one I am pretty sure is the rooster is the first one, he has been getting picked on the most by all the mean Wyandotte Roos. He's looking rough, so I will separate them today once I figure out boys from girls.

The second pic I am pretty sure is a hen.

These are the two barred rocks. The first pic is the one I think is a boy. His stripes are larger, and he is lighter colored now that you mention it. I just assumed since they are low quality hatchery chicks from TSC, they were just inconsistent colored.

The second picture I think is a girl.

Wyandotte #1 Bad attitude and most likely a rooster.

Wyandotte #2 bad attitude, probably a rooster.

Wyandotte #4 This one isn't as mean. More dull comb. I'm hoping a hen.

All your guesses seem correct so far. Please post again in a couple weeks for me to be absolutely sure.
