Guess gender of 4.5 week old chicks

[GoldpartridgeHen]

Thanks everyone. I’m pretty baffled myself on the barred rock because the comb is large but everything else leads me to believe pullet and the comb hasn’t turned pink/red. It’ll be fun to see what they actually turn out to be. I’ll comment with new photos in a few weeks!

Also, if the barred rock was a pullet it would have much darker feathering...

The barred rock is male. I'm gonna say the rest are pullets, but I am on the fence about Buffy#2.

Look at tail feathers, if the tip of the tail is kind of pointy/ sharp it is a rooster, if it’s round it’s a hen, you can also look for Spurs starting to grow.

They won't start getting their sex specific feathering for many more weeks yet. I think it is somewhere around 10-12 weeks old. Four weeks old is still a bit young to guess on the sex.

X 2. Update us with pics in a few more weeks and we'll have a better idea. That Rock sure does seem suspect though. I wouldn't be surprised if that comb starts getting red in a few weeks. Hard to tell at this age though!
