My chicks are about 5.5 -6 weeks old now and I’m trying to sex them as I can only keep one rooster. There are a few I think for are roosters but I definitely would like others options since I’m horrible at this.

#1 lavender Orpington

#3 could be a cockerel. #4 could be a cockerel, and is def. not a jubilee Orpington. #8 is a definite cockerel.

I think you probably have more boys, but it will take a couple of more weeks at least to be sure.
Okay! Thank you, that’s what I was sort of thinking! I will definitely post more photos in a few weeks. Also if that’s not a jubilee Orpington do you have a guess of what breed it might be?

It looks like an Araucana or Araucana mix, maybe. That breed is rumpless, as your bird appears to be. I've never heard of them being red, though, which is why I think it could be a mix of some sort.

The other does look a Jubilee Orp. and likely a pullet.
