I hatched out some chick from my three flocks. Japanese bantams, silkies, and Mix’s.

They are going to be a month old soon!

1. This is jellybean, born on June 22nd…i think cockerel because jellybeans comb is a bit big but some people say otherwise because its not red yet. (Japanese bantam)

2. This is sandy, born on june 28th. i first did think pullet but sandys comb is red so probably cockerel. (Polish/Japanese bantam)

3. Frizzle silkie mix, born june 28th
Im pretty sure i thought this one was a pullet ever since it hatched.

4. Sick chick, born june 28th. This chick fell really sick 4 days after hatching so ive kept hopefully a pullet. (Japanese bantam)

5. Born june 28th, i was planning on selling this one but I might keep if its a pullet. (Polish/Japanese bantam)

I do have other chicks but they are born on the 6th of July so i don’t think you can tell genders, but i think i have one male and two female. Thank you for the help!

I reposted this since no one saw it
 
I am new at this hatching as well. I have researched and read a lot of different post on how to tell the sex of just hatched chicks. Some say that if the wings have both long and short feathers then it is a female, but if all the feathers are the same length, then it is a rooster. Then others say if you gently hold them by the neck and the legs goes straight then it is a rooster if they start kicking then a female because of nature the males sacrifice themselves so the females can get away so hence the legs falling straight down compered to them kicking. But the true and definitely way is to vent them, which will tell you whether you have a rooster or a hen. You will want to find someone to show you because this could hurt the chick. I will soon be faced with the same changle in 18 more days. good luck and hopfully something might help you
