Help identify!

[Starboyle]

Can someone help me identify my chicks?! Chicks are 4 weeks old!

These are the breeds I was given (welsummer, cream crested legbar, Rhode Island Red, possibly some barnevelder, and speckled Sussex).

Thanks in advance!!

I'm terrible at breeds, but the lone chick and the chick sitting inside the tire are likely male.

Yes!! I’m also thinking those two are roo’s bc of how their combs are developing! I think I have 4 identified as roo’s out of 16, and I’m sure theyre will be more! Thanks!!

Welcome to BYC! This is what a 4-week old Welsummer pullet looks like:

They’re RIRs and the ones with large and prominent combs are cockerels. They mature quickly

Okay! I think I have a few then! The photo with the dust bath showing - I think this one could be a welsummer - maybe a pullet? It’s got the longer more developed tail, the solid eyeliner

Okay! Good to know. Thank you!

Here are some 4-week old Rhode Island reds:

Hey we have 3 four week old RIR that we thought were all pullets, but the past week these two have really changed a lot! I was hoping you guys could help me out here!
This is Bean, we are thinking is a roo based off his comb and some of the feathering.



Then this is Bruce, who I was sure was a hen until I saw his feathering today and his comb really popped up the past week.


I know it may be a bit early to be determining sexes but it has been driving my family crazy. We are torn because want really want a rooster to watch over the flock we are raising, but we are afraid of the crowing and we don't even know if we can have a roo where we are! So let me know what you think on these two!

This is a 7-week-old Welsummer cockerel:

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the sex of this 7 week old welsummer?
First thoughts based on his/her marking as a chick was female and the partridge feathers make me think female but these black chest feathers are making me think rooster?? Maybe still to young to tell? Any thoughts appreciated.
