a Dixie rainbow male or female?

@debid they are all about 6-8 weeks. I suspect that the cochin mix is about8 weeks. The other 2 barred are actually supposed to be English Orpington cuckoo. But I've had a few people tell me they think they are maran, barred rock, or even Dominique. But I got them from a breeder that has mostly English Orpington. Everything about them seem to be female but those wattles and combs became big and very pink all of a sudden.

Any with pink/red combs by 8 weeks are most certainly male. No Dominiques, they have rose combs. The barred chicks both have yellow skin, so not Marans, but they don't have the typical crisp barring of a male Barred Rock either. Probably black sexlinks, of atypical pairing. Male specific feathering usually becomes visible sometime between 10 and 16 weeks.

Too young still. Not an obvious cockerel yet.

These are my 10 week old EEs. I was wondering if you could help me out in their gender! I know it's not a perfect picture, so I am going to take more tomorrow!

The only thing is that his tail feathers are growing really slow and curve downward. Is this normal for a pullet? :/

Dr. Seuss's tail! Sorry!
