Hen or Roo?

[Teisha888]

Could anyone help me with the sex of these 6 week old babies hatched may 15th? Two pics of chicken little (gray), two pics of iceman (white) and one pic of Blackie.
Any ideas?

At 6 weeks, with wattles that big, they all 3 look like roos.

I can't believe out of 4 babies, 3 are possibly Roo's!

I know someone who has lots of broodies and an incubator. If the eggs getting hatched are for her, 90% cockerel hatch. If they're for someone else (or someone else gets her eggs and hatches at their home), the rate is reversed.

Yep, they're all roosters. Sorry.

I hatched 20 chicks, and 12 were roos. I've heard tell of some hatches being all roos. It happens.

The ironies of life, right?

This is over the course of several years.

Ok well I only have 4 adult hens, so if I keep a rooster which one would you keep?
