Hi I recently asked you guys about the sexes of my mixed range of chicks and you told me to wait a while since then two of them turned out to be roos and we had to dispose of them and now we have more signs that we may have more😢😭

i noticed that three of them have bumps on their legs which may be spurs all ideas are helpful and wanted😁

to me it looks like we have one girl and three boys what are your thoughts?
 
How old are these guys? Girls can have bumps on their legs where spurs would be. One of my spitzies actually has spurs herself, although not as big as a roosters. Comb and wattle growth combined with saddle feathers are the only way to reliably tell gender. Saddle feathers will make their appearance around 13-14 weeks of age. All 4 have nice bright red combs and wattles, but if they are older they could be pol pullets.
 
All chickens will have those bumps that are spur buds. You shouldn’t worry, as it isn’t a sign that they’re cockerels. Like @Overo Mare said, some hens will even grow spurs just like a rooster, and that really does confuse their owners.

They look pretty small to be POL.

If they fit in your hand and have baby fluff on the backs of their necks, what makes you think they are POL?
