hens or roosters?

I do believe now that it's a easter egger, silver variety. I'm afraid one of my production Reds may be a roo too!

Found this video a few days ago It's pretty good at explaining how to tell them apart

Thanks gruffy, good video!
Fred is definitely a roo! Tried to crow yesterday at 8 weeks . I'm learnt with EE you ever know what their adult feathers/colors mat be. I've been unable to get an answer, he has a bit of brown tips showing up & iridescent black/green tail feathers. I'm anxious to know what his coloring will be! He's sweet to me thus far

Hi guys I'm new to chickens ... Got 6 pullets from tractor supply supposed to be layer breeds... They are 6 weeks in this pic and the dark red I'm guessing is a RIR ? The other maybe a buff Orpington ?? Is the dark red. A rooster or hen ?? It's legs are twice as thick as all the others and sizably larger bodied. Thanks in advance !

Looks to me like you got a boy..

Yes, looks like a Buff Orpington & the red at 6 weeks with that deep red comb & wattle will be a roo!!

Our feed stores haven't been entirely honest on breed this was supposed to be a blue andelusian game chicken a "laying breed"

...at least they guessed the color right lol

By your photo the little arch in the tail feathers and the big bright red wattles I'd say roo. I would think he may be a cornish or red ranger mix with how ginormous his legs are but he'll be one handsome roo

Can anyone tell me any ideas about sex on these chicks? They're all 9 weeks old. The single one in the second pic is the one I'm most worried about, because "she" is my favorite. thanks!
