Didn't see this thread until after I made a thread

But I have 3 RIR and 3 BA and I don't think I have a single pullet

No Black Australorps. Those are Barred Rocks, and they are all cockerels. You may have one Rhode Island Red pullet.

Thank you, was told they're BA,but they are such sweet chickens but I don't see being able to have pretty much 6 roosters.....

Yes they are. I wish I could give you exact ages but the women I got them from had various ages together so I don't know exact hatch dates for each chick. Can you post a pic of the one you believe is a cockerel? I'd love to see it

Here is my Swedish flower cockerel. About 7 1/2 weeks old. He is very hard to get a good picture. I just took a bunch:

If anyone thinks I'm wrong and this is not a cockerel please let me know as he is probably going to have to be given away. I've named him Mr Magoo and I think he's so pretty and he's my only Swedish flower

Here is one I've been confused on. I've posted before but now he/she is probably 9 weeks old. Supposed to be a light brahma pullet but I got her from a local farm so she could potentially have something else mixed in and not entirely sure she is 9 weeks. She's always been huge. I know in these pictures the comb and wattle look really red but sometimes they are perfectly yellow/flesh colored. If it is a girl she blushes easily. Sorry for all the pictures she is also one of my more standoffish chicks so hard to get good pictures. If she is a light brahma will she molt out some of that extra black feathering?

All the same chick. She also had a deformed and cricked toe but it's all straightened out now go figure...she's just a pet so it doesn't matter anyway but if she's a cockerel she will have to go. Thanks for taking the time to look.

@EggerstheJerk Look at the bottom of the feet. Australorps have white skin, JGs have yellow. And I agree with the other answer, it looks like a pullet.

Thank you! The skin looks more pinkish than yellow, which is why I assume it's an Australorp, or a poorly bred JG.
And thanks for everyone who said she looks like a pullet. The reason I had doubts was more due to her personality. She's very bold and often has this very upright posture, and she did feather MUCH more slowly than my SLW who is the same age.
In any case, she's staying with me, I live out in the country and could keep her if she winds up surprising me with a crow. She's the sweetest one, always wanting to be picked up.

Here are the rest of my chicks. I know I have one barred rock cockerel and on barred rock pullet but just want to make sure I don't have any late blooming cockerels.

Chick 1 barred rock cockerel

Chick 2 barred rock pullet

Chick 3 welsummer pullet?

Chick 4 FBCM pullet?

Chick 5 buff rock pullet?

Chick 6 which is my cream legbar pullet. I guess I didn't get a picture of my buff Cochin who is probably too young anyway and my silver penciled rock who I'm
Pretty sure is a pullet. It was really cold out so I kind of rushed the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to confirm my chicks gender.

I have a hatch from just a day and a half ago, so obviously they are Not the age where the pic would matter much. However the egg in question came from a buff Orpington hen and the rooster can only either be a BR or a white leghorn.
I'm trying to understand more about the sex link characteristics. The chick from that egg (I marked the eggs for i.d.) is dark brown tones with a lighter brown/tan "mask" on his face and has a white spot right on top of "his" head (as I've seen in BR both genders and male sex links). This is the only chick from that set of possible parents.
My question:
would this chick have the white spot on his head the same as would a black chick with the white spot (sex link)? Being male?
I don't think I phrased the question very well, but maybe somebody will know what I mean.
I'll attach a pic for amusement sake...

In the above pic he is the chick that is highest up, middle of the pic looking toward the left side of the pic.

Hi, I've got a real problem.

I have this chick named Sliva and I have no clue if it's male or female!
It's the slowest growing chick out of 8 (all born on the same day) and a few days ago I noticed little lumps on the back of it's legs

Please help!
