Hi! I purchased these chicks on May 2nd from Tractor Supply. They were about 2 weeks old at the time, which is why they were on sale. I think they are 6 weeks old now. They were not sexed. The workers performed the muscle test to determine that these were pullets (hopefully). 3 are barred rocks and 4 are Rhode Island Reds. Please let me know what you think their genders are. I need them to be pullets so I have enough to keep one of my roosters that I hatched. 🤞The last photo is what they looked like when I got them. Do they look about 2 weeks old here?

Fun Fact: Number 7 does not have nails on her middle toes.

I think all are pullets.

The barred rocks have combs that are large and colorful for that age, but they have the darker coloration of females and the green leg wash over the yellow legs that is also typical of females of that breed.

RIR number 5 also has a big comb, but I think all of these are also females.

Definitely get as many opinions as you can!

Thanks for your response. I hope they are all pullets. The BR’s combs photographed redder than they appear in person. Number 5 has bigger legs and feet, which concerns me. 🤞
