HELP IDENTIFYING AND SEXING CHICKS

[The Five O]

I would guess first is male and second is female.

The first seems to have a white wing "cap," the second has more defined feathers and well defined head spots.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking lol

Haha no just showing the progression of them ! Still not sure in a couple of the breeds though lol

Okay, sorry for my forgetfulness! LOL. The one in the third picture looks like it might vaguely have Legbar in its genetics, but definitely a mix overall.

Pretty sure EE can’t be sexed this early but I have the 2 I posted most recently and one is all white the other is white with some other black and grey… they were in the same batch both labeled as Americauna which I know 99% they probably are not . But based off the wing length I know females tend to develop longer wings and tail feathers faster than males . Would love your guys opinions on these 2 as of 2 weeks old .

It is certainly too early, but I agree with what @LaurenRitz said because cockerels tend to feather out more slowly than pullets.

Haha no problem ! Yeah that’s what I’m thinking also! I was thinking legbar and EE MIX maybe ? But yes I also think the all white is a male …

I know … I’m hoping not but another 3 weeks or so we should be able to tell for sure

Update on an Americana 4 weeks old
Silver laced Wyandotte
sapphire olive egger
Another crested chicken most likely a mix but not sure yet .

How old are the others? It's hard to tell how big the comb on the white one is, if you could get a photo in natural light that would be nice. The Wyandotte looks like a pullet, the Olive Egger is definitely a cockerel, and the last one depends on the age.

Yes we learned that the hard way lol they also told me that speckled Sussex generally have 90% female chicks …

Yeah. Except I got fifty percent male and female. One female one male.

Here are pictures of my cousins Americana’s. Not sure if we can tell yet but I don’t see any red combs developing . They are around 5-6 weeks old
