Hi Everyone!

I have 4 Barred Plymouth Rock chicks that are now about 11-12 weeks old. I was really hoping they were all hens but I have my doubts....

I was really hoping someone one here may be able to help me determine their sexes if I post a couple of photos?

Anyway I'm iona and I haven't had chooks since I was a young girl (25 or so years) so I am just learning everything I can about them. I absolutely love the 4 I have they are so great to watch. They are the most inquisitive animal and they are so so funny!!! They are really great pets and they have taken a liking to me which is great however they do get a bit excited at times haha I wonder when they big will they bowl me over ;-)

Sure! We can try!

 

[CHOOKBIRDHILTON]

WOW Sorry about the pics being so big!!!

I probably should add that I got the chicks from a chicken breeder and they breed all different sorts of chooks there all year round so my chicks are a week or so apart. Two were supposedly to be one week older than the other two and they were all supposed to be hens - now i'm not so sure on it at all!!!

I'm not an expert, but picture 1 looks like a hens and picture 2 and 3 look like roosters. Sorry.

The first one is a pullet. No comb or wattles.
The second and third are cockerels. Both have combs and wattles.

They also look to be 6-7 weeks old, not 12 weeks. Here are 12 week old birds.
