Both mixed breed pullets.
Three Red Sex Link pullets and a New Hampshire who I would guess is a pullet.

They are 5-6 weeks

I think the head spot is a males but maybe I have it backwards.

I heard both genders have the spot actually

Please help me. I'm getting 50 50 results on my chick. I thought she was a she but am I right?

Too early to tell, even for a BR. Try again when the bird is 6 weeks or so.

You're thinking of Black Sex Links. In Barred Rocks, both sexes have a spot. In real Barred Plymouth Rocks (show stock), those with a careful eye can be somewhat accurate in sexing by the shape and size of the head spot. This doesn't apply to hatchery rocks.

I meant "that type of spot". Males and females have different spots.

Pullets except the silkie I have no idea when it comes to sexing silkies

Sweet music to my ears! I know the silkie is tough. I told my neighbor she would be the first to know if it's a rooster. I sleep deep!!
