Hi, i hatched my chicks and have what i think are 3 Light Sussex, could you look at the photo's and see if you think roo or pullet, i think maybe 2 are roos but hoping not, and also the last chick is that also a Light Sussex or could it be a White Maran, i thought none of the Marans hatched so I'm unsure because it has a few feathers on its legs.
All the chicks are 4 weeks old
Thanks for looking

Chick 1






Chick 2



Chick 3

Sussex? no black markings and feathers on the legs?

I think that both chick 1 and chick 2 are Light Sussex. The first one is definitely a male, and I believe (but am not as certain), that Chick 2 is a male as well. Both of them have very red, large combs for being only four weeks old. Chick 3 appears to be a White Marans, and it is a male also.

Number 2 does have a smaller comb and is paler in colour so hoping for a hen, number 1 and 3 where the ones i thought were roo's due to the early redness of the combs.

Out of the 3 i was hoping 1 would be female

i'm still in denial about number 2

Anyone think number 2 is a roo or should i get some better photo's? Chick 1 was the first i ever hatched call Olive soon to be renamed Oliver
Also the third photo from the bottom has a black minorca in it, i have 3 and all of them have a comb similar, could they be roo's to or is it to early to tell with them?
The only other 2 apart from the 11 Silkie's chicks are 2 Cream Legbars, and i know they are boy and girl.

I think Chick 2 is probably male but if you need further confirmation why don't you get some more photos of it that are similar poses as the photos of chick 3?

Your Minorcas look like roosters too.
