Here are my black and lavandar (self blue) project Orp. chicks. They are four weeks old, unfortunately it looks like most of them may be roosters. Hope they at least look good as they grow. They are in a really ugly stage right now

I also have Speckled Sussex and a few other chicks in there!

It's annoying when you put so much effort into looking after them and they end up mostly rooster, one question what will you do with all those roosters ?

Any way to sex at a week old or is it just a wait and see game with these.
