How do i know? Wait until they crow?

[artsvarc]

I really want to post pictures and ask for opinions on whether I have pullets or roos. BUT... I don't want to find out I have any roos Is there a way to find out for sure or do I wait for them to crow? ‍ They are only 5.5 weeks, so I have a while I think.

Generally males get pink combs by 5 weeks and it can be very apparent at that age.

Some breeds are easier than others, and some take more time (and experience) to figure out. Post pictures, we love to guess!

Guess away!! Here are a few that I took today. I'll have to get good ones of the others. Pullett or Roo?

As a wild guess, the second chick, blue with topknot, has a pinker comb than the others. All I'm going to say tonight...

Just warning ya, just because they crow doesn't mean they are a rooster.

Hmmm I would be more concerned about #2 than the others but I may be being tricked by its posing for the camera

Can you tell us what breeds you have? That would be helpful too and we’re they straight run ? The Easter egger looks like a hen to me .

it looks like all there combs look pale. Unless I’m mistaking?

Do you see the look in the eye of #2? Oh yeah........he’s a roo. He’s daring you to question him. It’s all in those evil eyes!!!
