Here is another pic in natural light of my GLW. This is the best I can get.

Cockerel.

I think you're right. The only one I'm not sure on is the last. Also, the buff is a little young to say for sure she's a pullet. Please post pics of those two in a few more weeks.

Ok! Thank you so much! I will post in a couple more weeks

Hi I'm new here All 4 were supposed to be hens, but I'm especially worried about #1 as it is getting feathers much slower than the others. I'm really hoping none are roosters!

#1 was tagged as a Buff Orpington

#2 was tagged as Black Pullet

#3 tagged as Red Pullet

#4 tagged as Amber Link

Sorry, I should have said they are 2 days shy of 5 weeks.

They're too young. The first and last chicks are a little suspicious, but combs aren't red enough for me to say cockerel at this age. Please post pics when they are a few weeks older.

Thank you!

It might be too early to tell with these, they're only just 4 weeks, but the top one has a much more prominent and dark comb, is a bit bigger than the rest, and is very "outgoing". It took longer to feather. It looked so different at about 2 weeks I thought it got put in my batch by mistake. Now he/she looks a lot like the rest except the face. I couldn't get them to hold still for a body shot but I wondered if you could telll from these. The other 3 look more like the bottom pics. They're 4 week old Buff Orpingtons.

Top chick is an early blooming cockerel.
