So i took more photos of my wee guys today and i think i will have to face facts that my wee white hen is a he! The one at the back is shy so hard for photos.

Chick in second picture is male, hard to tell with the other but probably female.

Hi everyone, I'm new to BYC but have been reading posts here for info since getting my first chickens 2 years ago. Recently I bought 4 day old chicks - an Australorp, Barred Plymouth Rock, Gold Laced Wyandotte and a Sussex Light. They were all meant to be females but after watching my now 9 week old Barred Plymouth Rock become quite aggressive and noticed how much bigger and redder her comb and wattles were than the others, I discovered via this forum she's actually a cockerel. Now I'm a little worried about my Australorp being a cockerel too as the Australorp often stands up to the BPR. Can you please help identify if she is a pullet or actually a cockerel? And if by any chance you think my BPR is a pullet too let me know, but I'm pretty certain it's a cockerel. 4 weeks 5 weeks 5 weeks 7 and a half weeks 9 weeks 9 weeks Thanks in advance guys!

BR is a definite cockerel. BA appears to be as well.

Thank you so much We live in the suburbs so we aren't allowed roosters. The woman who gave us the chicks has a LOT of land so she takes back the roosters and puts them out to free range.

The Araucana is definitely correct as she had puffy little baby cheeks. What breed do you think the others are please?

Sounds good! Not Araucana, she is an EE. I think they're all mixes. Cockerel could be a RSL mix. Others could have some EE.

X2, all barnyard mixes. Nothing wrong with that as long as the seller isn't claiming they're something else (and pricing accordingly...)

Thanks so much for all of your help! The woman who gave these to us sells them as purebred which is a bit of a worry. Regardless I love our little chicks. They've brought a great deal of joy to the household

Looks like a bunch of pullets so far but I'd like to see what's under your hand on #2.

I'm hoping they are all pullets! They were all sold as pullets, and we aren't allowed roosters. Here's another pic of #2

Yep, looking like a pullet.
