Hi all, we’ve recently adopted 5 young chickens and I’d love some advise on gender. We’ve had a couple of comments in a Facebook group who have said the first one is a hen - but I’m not convinced. That the second one is a rooster and the other three are hens. Love to know your thoughts

Age might help influence my decision. :)
I’m currently thinking 1 and 2 are cockerels 3, 4 and 5 are Pullets but that might change. :)
ETA: No offence because they’re still very beautiful but their lacing doesn’t look the best. Classic hatchery quality Wyandotte‘s also might have single combs though.
BTW... :welcome

Thank you. I can’t say with certainty how old they are. We were told between 8-12 weeks.

no, they’re not nearly breed standard. I’m a sucker for that though. We just have them for pets and eggs are a bonus 😊
