Need to guess the gender!

[Mountain Peeps]

Can anyone help? I think maybe the 3 are all the same gender, whatever that may be?

Heres another update on the younger ones, pretty certain the dutch is a cockerel but still unsure about the others. 7 weeks old now:


No.4


No.2

No.3

N0.5

I'm having a really hard time deciding. Before this recent update chick #3 looked like a rooster. Now I thinking more pullet. #2 is defiantly a pullet. AS OF NOW I'm going to guess #s 1 and 5 are roosters. Sorry about your loss!

The Dutch (#2) is definitely a cockerel. The females won't ever develop that black coloring on the breast.

I'm really not sure on the others. #5 is looking roosterish, and I can't be sure on the other two. #4 is looking a little more pullet-y.

I think that this is just going to be a wait-and-see.

Agreed.

Thanks everyone! The dutch has also started getting rusty brown feathers on its wings so pretty sure it is a cockerel now. I will post one last update before they go the auction next week but after that they will hopefully be sold.

Final update at 8 weeks old. Quite sure everyone will agree the dutch is a cockerel judging by its feathers.

The cochins are looking girl to me, as most of my boys tend to show pretty early on LOTS of comb development and color. However, the color on those calicos look more roo to me, so they could be late developers. I don't think anyone would think you were trying to pull a fast one if you labeled them as potential pullets though.

Thanks for that, I have them labeled as a pair just now but I could change it on the day
