I think I hatched 4/5 Roos

I posted a couple weeks ago…I’m back with my 4 week old chicks and I think I hatched 4 cockerels and 1 pullet 😂

1. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. I’m feeling pretty confident she’s a pullet.

2. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. I was so confident she was a pullet but within the last 2 days that comb has gotten more red.

3. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. I’ve had rooster vibes since hatch day when he came out of the egg differently than all the others 😂 but the comb has become more red in the past few days.

4. 4 week old Easter egger x Orpington. He’s had a large comb and short tail feathers from the 1st week so I’ve been pretty confident in saying he’s a cockerel.

5. (The chick in the front of the picture)
4 week old golden cuckoo marans x Orpington. Large comb and short tail also from the first week - another one I’m confident about being a cockerel.

Agree or disagree with any of them? 😂 I really wanted # 2 and # 3 to be hens.
#3 is my favorite. Looks like he will be very pretty. #1 is a pullet, I'm not sure about the others.
 
Kind of look like they could all be cockerels. 1 might be a pullet, post more pics of her in a few weeks, but the others are definitely cockerels.
 
Oh wow! Please come back and let me know 😂
6 males out of 7!
1 Female and 4 males are 100% sure because sexable at hatch. The other 2 are putting out comb, so hopefully males too.
It's been 2 years that I was trying to hatch a male lol.
 
Can you update with photos please! I'm curious how they turned out. Thanks!
4 roosters and 1 hen! 😂

That’s so funny! congratulations!😂
 
#3 is my favorite. Looks like he will be very pretty. #1 is a pullet, I'm not sure about the others.
#3 thinks he’s in charge of everything and everybody 😂
but he is definitely beautiful 😍
