New chicken mom.

Im new to raising chickens.. I got 5 black austrolope chicks about 4 weeks having trouble determine if these 3 are pullets or cockerels.. Please help

At 4 wks they look like pullets to me but you’ll need to wait until they’re at least 5 weeks (preferably more) to determine gender more accurately

Probably not, in my experience. Just chick being chicks. I look for pointed saddle and hackle feathers when sexing chicks. I'm not great at tracking, so I couldn't tell you when they start to show up. I have some late February chicks and the roo has been obvious to me for some time now.
