#1 & #4 look like boys.  Brahmas have feathered shanks & a diff type of comb.  I think they may have some Orpington in them.  Orps can get color in their combs very early.  Your chicks may be 3-4 weeks.

The one right looks like a male compared to the other.

This pic was just a couple of days before the first ones posted but they got big really fast. I think age is right 3 ish plus but hard to get you guys a better picture. Thank you all so much for the info.

little early to tell but so far I am thinking cockerel

I have 2 silkies that are polar opposites in behavior... Dolly is fun but can be a bully and will nip and kick at me if I grab at her/him. Stella is extremely shy but sweet and beautiful and mostly wants to perch on a roost in the back and be left alone.

This is the bigger of my two silkies, not mean at all but not friendly. The comb looks pink today with a daylight bulb so I'm thinking boy. It's 4 1/2 weeks.

Benedict, Sweetie, and Sylvia look like pullets while Lala, Mari, and Ollie look like cockerels.

Agreed. A little suspicious of Benedict, but pullet for now.

It took me a moment to figure out this pic. It looked like a 3-legged chick.

Dang it! All 6 were supposed to be ladies! I'm especially disappointed about Mari - that's the one that lets us handle her/him the most.

Hi!

I'm newer to raising chickens. I'm trying to tell if my 4 buff orpingtons are girls or boys. The two smaller ones are 5 days younger than the 2 bigger ones. They are 5 and 5.5 weeks old. I also have 7 4.5 week old Easter eggers I'd like to know about. Is it too soon to tell for them or can I post pics of them too? Thank you!!
