Help! Any guesses on gender?

Can anyone take a guess at the gender of my 13 week old girls? (hopefully girls) Top one is a Barred Rock, middle one is a Delaware and bottom one is a Rhode Island Red.

Pretty chickens!

The top one looks like it should be a hen.
The middle one does too, though I'm not quite sure.
As for the bottom one, you'll have to wait and see. It looks like a pretty tough chicken. Sometimes it seems you can just tell by how they stand if they are a rooster or not. Roosters think they are really awesome and tend to act like it.

Best of luck!

I have no clue, but thanks to your post I realize that our pullet which we thought was another breed is actually a barred rock!! Now I am questioning the rest of my breeds, mostly the white ones! Thank you.

Thank you so much Gita! I have 7 in my flock all together. The Delaware and Rhode Island are the two that I am iffy about. They are the biggest in the flock and tend to lead, although no one is feisty or mean yet. I am not allowed Roosters where I live so I am hoping none of them turn out to be roos. I am obsessing over trying to determine by looking at their features and watching them walk around but I am just not sure. This is my first time with chickens and am in love!

Glad to have helped you Spartagon! I love my Barred Rock, she is so smart and sweet.

I agree. Chickens are awesome!
