Guess a sex

I have 8 week old chicks. They are supposed to be all hens. They are light brahma, black silver laced wyandotte, brown leghorn and polish top knot. When can I post pictures to see if I have any cockerals?

You could post now and start to get a good idea, but another month would be even more accurate unless you have obvious males now.

I agree. Now is a good time to post pictutes, but another month would be a lot more accurate. Sometimes you can tell with younger chicks though. Usually. The Cockrelsecond will be the first ones for their combs to start reddening

Go ahead and post right now! Any cockerels will have red combs by this age. You can usually tell by six weeks. If you weren't satisfied, you can wait until twelve weeks, when male feathering starts developing. I would suggest putting it in the 'What Breed or Gender' forum for the most results. Good luck!

Leghorn would be the only one to easily tell by 6-8 weeks.

I'd reckon that now's a good time if anything to see some photos. I'll see if I can help even the slightest bit with your pullets/cockerels.
