I am new at this, but still hoping they are all girls.

How old are they? 4 weeks?

 

[Carol McLaine]

They were less than a week old when I got them, but I did not get specifics on how many days old, and that was 2 weeks and 2 days ago. So, probably 3 weeks at the most.

I'm saying that Theda is a cockerel for now because the tail feather growth and overall growth seems not as grown compared to the others. Now to wait and see. Contrary to popular belief, I think you can tell a chick's sex at a a week old based on feather growth in pretty much every breed except probably silkies (I'll admit, I've only dealt with leghorns, EE, brahma, rock, orpington, cochins, and maran). Here's a helpful link with cochins, which is what I have. https://beemaster.com/forum/index.php?topic=26745.0

They are too young. Post some more pics around five to six weeks.

TOO young unless you just want wild guesses. Better to put up new photos around 6-8 weeks.

Much to young still. 6-8 weeks is about the youngest they can be sexed with any accuracy.
