Guess my flock! *Image Heavy*

We have 9 seven week old chicks that we know some of the genders but we have a few questionables. There is one VERY obvious cockerel, but do you guys see any others? The first chick is the one we are the most unsure on. It’s super flighty (literally) and hates being held, touched, etc.

Chick #1 - Easter Egger Questionable

Chick #2 - Easter Egger Pullet

Chick #3 - New Hampshire Red Cockerel

Chick #4 - New Hampshire Red Pullet

Chick #5 - Black Australorp Pullet

Chick #6 and #7 - Barred Rock Pullets who never sit still

Chick #8 and #9 - Black Australorp Pullet and Rhode Island Red Pullet (for sure Pullet even though you can’t see the face well)


On a side note, Barred Rock #6 is the sweetest thing ever! She’s definitely stolen my heart for sure

Forgot to add that these were all supposed to be pullets from Ideal Poultry.

You got it right. Chick 3 is a definite cockerel. Chick 1 is a little questionable. I wish there was a better shot of its comb. Its coloring is a little splotchy, which is a cockerel trait, but the legs are thin and the comb appears to be small and pale, which are all pullet traits. So it's sending mixed messages. I would lean toward it being a pullet, but I think you are going to have to wait a couple more weeks to be sure.

The rest all look like pullets.

You got them right. number 1 looks like a pullet.

The first one is a pullet.

Just the one cockerel, the New Hamp.

Awesome! I think I am finally understanding it now. Thank you so much everyone.

Well, our questionable has started getting brick red on “her” shoulders. As well as fighting and a bigger comb than our other EE. The legs aren’t thick at all but gosh these other signs point to cockerel now.

Hmmm, well, hopefully it's just a feisty pullet. Age and a new picture needed if you want us to look at him/her again.

I will get one tomorrow. They turn 9 weeks on Monday.
