We got four chicks in April. Two are Golden Sexlinks hens, although I think one is a rooster. They are about 10 weeks old.
The other two are Rhode Island Red also supposed to be hens. But again I suspect one is a rooster. They are about 9 weeks old.
We can’t have roosters so I need to know if I need to find new homes for the ones I think are roosters. ☹️ Thanks!!
Minnie Mouse (a Golden Sexlinks)I think maybe Mickey!

Scarlet is another I think may be a rooster and not a hen. She is a Rhode Island Red.

Violet and Penelope I’m hoping are hens? Violet is a Golden Sexlinked and Penelope is a Rhode Island Red.

The only one that looks iffy to me is Scarlett. The comb is large but still pale, and the wattles aren't huge or bright red yet. Maybe just keep your eye on her for a few more weeks.

Thank you! Yes Scarlett has me a bit worried although she doesn’t have saddle feathers where Minnie does.
 
Ok! Thank you both. I’ll keep watching. Fingers crossed they’re all hens because my girls and I have become quite attached to them.
