Help me sex my light Sussex please.

[Meg22]

I have 7 light Sussex chicks just over 5 weeks old. Could you help me sex them please. My thoughts are 4 boys 2 girls 1 not sure.

I think you're right but it's a little early to be perfectly sure.

I agree with your guess.

 

[Meg22]

Thanks for your answers. I guess we need more eggs then. I don't want to risk having just 2 in the coop over winter.

I believe so as well. The two I circled are pullets. The one far right of the bench picture looks closer to a slow maturing cockerel

And you need to get rid of the boys. They will overbreed the girls the point of injury and death.

Thank you. I am aware of that, I meant 2 chickens in the coop not 2 hens. I wont let them get harassed.

 

[Meg22]

This is the one I wasn't sure of. Starting to look more like the other boys.

This is a better picture.
