Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

We are brand new to chicks and have 24! Of course I'm suspicious about 7 of them as cockerels which would be terrible luck. This is "Lady" and she's far and away the favorite. 5 week old barred Rock. Thanks for your thoughts!

Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken.
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004
are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+. 
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!

Thanks!

Not a Barnevelder. Looks more like a Welsummer pullet.

Really. Barnevelder chicks have dark brown heads. Welsummers have eyeliner. Barnevelders feather in with lacing. Welsummers feather in with their gender specific, partridge patterning.

She had a dark head when she was hatched. Looked like my other one just lighter. Here is a photo of the 3rd one
