I’m thinking both of my chicks are roosters,is there hope one of them is a hen?

I have two 4 week old chicks that are starting to change feathers, I have seen them “fight” one time and I’m thinking both of them are roosters, is there hope one of them is a hen?

picture 1 is kris, I’m pretty sure he is a rooster, he is the biggest and have always been the dominant chick.

Picture 2 is mars, at first I was thinking it might would turn out to be a hen because it’s a lot more cuddly and smaller than kris but I’m starting to doubt it now because it does have some really straight wing and not curved like the female chicks I had last time.

Either or both MAY be pullets. It's really too early to tell. Pullets as well as cockerels will spar/play fight.

So cute!!!

x2 on they could still be girls. Check back with us and put up new photos when they are 6-8 weeks. Wing feather length/growth can be independent of sex.

Way too early to tell. Post again in 2-4 weeks

UPDATE: they are now 6-7 weeks and I’m starting to think I have one of each. They are developing differently,one has take feathers and one don’t. What do y’all think?

They're both kinda looking like boys, to me...

Yeah, my first guess was two boys too but do you still think that now that they’re developing different things?

I'm not sure... I'm thinking you may need to wait 1-2 more weeks.
I'm better at sexing chicks from 2 months, on.
