Hens or Roos?

[ClubObiWan]

Our chicks are now 5 weeks old. Two are black copper Marans with hairy legs and the other is an EE crossed with a PB Japanese Buff bantam. Any ideas regarding gender?

Welcome to BYC! They are all looking pretty feminine to me!

Agree with LRH97. It is still too young for certainty, though, because those chicks could easily have a sudden growth spurt and suddenly look like cockerels in a week or two. But at this point things are looking good. 7 to 8 weeks is a good time to try to sex them.
