Hang in there. I really thought this one was male.
6-7 weeks

I was wrong.

The wideness of the comb would probably have me concerned but I guess mine is more the bumpiness of two of mine. This is the one two people believe to be a cockerel:

The white one in my previous post above also has a bumpy comb coming in. This seems to be indicative of a cockerel from what I have read...

Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken.
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004 are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+.
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!

Thanks!

It looks like pullet, cockerel, cockerel, pullet and they look like mixes, not pure Rocks.

Those are mixes, and only one is a pullet.

Yep, she's right -- I didn't zoom in until just now. First one is a cockerel, too.

This one looks very BOYish.

This one's a female:

All the others have pointed saddle feathers coming in.

I figured...ah well...I wish we could keep them all

Brown leghorn. I know girls have larger combs than other breds, but this seems kind of red.

That's a cockerel. It has a lot of comb, yes, but it's also getting a black chest which is a sure sign of a male.
