Help!!!! Hens or rosters?!?

[NuttHouse]

I need to know what these are?! Also if there is a surefire way to tell before I bring them home from the feed store.

Need to know the age. Also need closer pics without the wire. And no, there is no way to sex Cochins at a day old other than vent sexing.

Im not sure on the breed but if they are golden comets like mine are the black ones are roosters. Check their wings. Long short long short is typically a hen. Also check for spurs on the feet and compare foot size. Smaller feet are usually hens

We got them April 1st. They were from Atwoods so I don’t know how old they were then. They were tiny and yellow. I am totally new to chickens so I appreciate your help!

They are all Cochins. The two buffs look to be cockerels. And two of the blacks look to be cockerels. I can't see the head of the third black. They do look to be about 6 weeks old or so. So I'd say they were day old or so when you got them. Sexing chicks under 6 weeks is tricky. So I wait another 10-14 days and post pictures again. But I'm getting the feeling you've got mostly cockerels.

Red Sex Links (comets) don't have feathered feet.
Wing sexing only works on specifically bred hybrids, and the difference can oly be seen the first few days after hatch.
Spurs don't come in until around six months, and hens also grow them sometimes.
Foot size doesn't have anything to do with gender, might just be coincidence.

I think it's important to be educated in what you tell other people. Because we don't want someone getting rid of precious pullets!

I have no idea what breed! Lol they were labeled “straight run chicks” at Atwoods... would bantams get along with these or would I have to build another coop!?

I'm sorry, I was quoting someone else.....
These are Cochins
Um, they are most likely bantams themselves....how large are they? But, bantams do generally get along with standard chickens, just make sure there is enough room wherever they are, so the littles can get away from the big ones if necessary.
