Help!!! chick gender

[thekittenchicken]

We have two, 4-week old chicks and we need to know their gender I have taken some pictures of them and I'm hoping some experts might be able to tell. please help if you can id love to hear everyone's opinions. CHICK ONE:

CHICK TWO:

Sorry about the quality, they wouldn't stand till!Also they seem to be fighting a lot and standing each other off is this rooster behaviour or do hens do this too?

They are still a bit to young, but at this point I see nothing pointing towards them being cockerels

Agree with above, too early, no obvious cockerel signs. Pullets will play fight too when young. These look like BCMs, they comb early. You should know by 5-6 weeks of age.

thank you I will wait for them to grow then. I'm unsure of the breed but they're not BCMs i think they might be half lavender Orpington and half austrolop tho.

Too young to sex, but are not screaming cockerel. Where did you get them?

 

[thekittenchicken]

We hatched them from our own chickens but were not sure of the breeds.their father is lavender and he's quite small and their mother is a black hen with orange eyes and also quite small. they are the chickens in the profile pic.

I might be able to tell you breeds if you post full sized pics! I can tell you right off the bat he isn't a Lavender Orpington He has feathered legs. Hard to tell, but he might be a Lavender Bantam Cochin
