I have 2 light sussex and 2 ? french marans can you tell if hen or roo yet?

[Sunshine83]

We have had these a week now and would like to know if it is possible to know if they are roos or hens yet?? can anyone help please. The light Sussex are a week older than the other 2, but all the chicks combs are developing? If more pictures are needed I can add more just let me know. Thank you in anticipation

chick 3 breeder said this was a hen but i have a feeling its a roo as comb is more developed



chick 4

They are too young to really tell yet.

Yeah, it's difficult to tell yet, but I would hazard the guess that chicks 2 and 4 are likely girls. I can't really tell on the other two, sorry.

 

[Sunshine83]

Thank you, I know its early yet, probably be able to tell more in a couple of weeks.

Do any of them have tail feathers developing yet?

my guess - 1. M 2.M, 3 F, 4F.

It's early but I hazard all pullets. Iffy on #2 as the comb looks big for that age but no red to it yet.

Took a few better pics the one before weren't very clear but still early I know, Also are 1 & 2 french Marans or something else? they will have feathery legs.
