Hen or Roos?

[abledoux]

Ive had laying hens never chicks any gender ideas? My 3 black chicks (one blue marans two olive eggers) have scattered tails like Roos, not sure if that’s a sure sign at 4 weeks.

The speckled Sussex I am thinking no tail and no wing bows when it’s sibling does is a sign of a roo also?

The only reliable way to sex these certain breeds at this age is to post pics of the comb. They are still a little young, but the white ones appears to be a cockerel. Post pics of their combs in 2 weeks.

Nooo that splash marans is my all time favorite. The blue marans a close second.

I can't be definite that it's a cockerel, this young. But the comb is a bit larger, and more red in color, so it most likely is. Posting another pic in 2 weeks will tell you for sure.
