The red one is male, the rest appear to be female!

Best I have at the moment (its night here)

cockerel

Some new pics this week they're 6-7 weeks old. I know the one is a roo 100% still wanted more advice on the others since they've grown. I know the pics aren't great but I added an expansion to the run and I can't crawl in it to get pictures.

the last picture with the red one is a male the rest appear to be females

Thanks for the replies and help, shame its cockerel as im not allowed to have one where I live, hopefully where i got it from have another hen for me!

Sorry im not entirely sure 10 - 15 weeks and i believe its a light sussex x australorp

Can you narrow that age down a bit? At 10 weeks, definitely a male. If closer to 15 weeks, could be female.

Still playing the "Are they roos, are they hens" game. 4 weeks old, all were straight run. 4 barred rocks, 4 GLW and 2 Buff Orpingtons. Any guesses?

In the second pic, the chick on the floor in the back left corner looks to be male. On the roost, the BR with lots of white is male. Those and the chick that is on the roost in the first picture are the ones that stand out to me.

But, this is a young age, so you will likely have more cockerels pop up - or not. Please post pictures in a few more weeks to confirm gender. Individual profile pics in natural lighting are best.

Coming up on 6 months. White is a roo. Im not sure about the black. I go back and forth pretty much every day, but im leaning towards cockerel (i hope not tho. all 3 of my silkie will be cockerels then). I think i see streamers but im not sure if i do or not. The white is same age and is his/her brother. He has long thick streamers coming from his crest. The black has a few thin feathers that are just a tad longer than the rest. What do yall think? Fingers crossed he/she is a pullet!!

Picked up 2 EE "pullets" a few days ago. I believe they're around 7-8 weeks in age. The blue one has me suspicious. I made me own thread and I've gotten 50/50 pullet/cockerel feedback. I have two bantam hens and can't have a standard roo with them.

Both pullets. The blue does not have the typical patchiness of a male, and that comb is very pale.
