Thanks. QUOTE="debid, post: 18587535, member: 77440"]Well, you have one cuckoo that looks male (the first) and two that look female. The rest, you'll need to wait a while, yet.

BTW, next time you take pictures, a side profile is best with no hands in the way.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. The first one I think is a barred Plymouth rock. She has different colored feet. Hoping that's the difference! I'll give them some time and try for better pics. Thanks so much!

She's is about 9/10weeks old! She is however the only one that is this red and has wattles showing!
We have 3 buff orpingtons and the older one we have is not this red or has these wattles!

Hi. I am new to your site. I have two chicks, they are just over 4 weeks old (not sure of breed) does anyone know what sex they could be? I think they are Roos, but this is the first time I have had chicks as my other girls were older when I got them so I could be wrong. They do tend to flap about and spar together.

I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on these two. 15 week old EE crosses. Thanks in advance!

Can you tell me how many Roos I may have ?

It's hard to tell because we can't see 2 of them at all. Also, it's helpful to know the age. Of the ones I can see, I think both of the white headed chicks (EEs) are male. Less sure on the one in front... depends on age, and better pics would help.

The EE is a cockerel.

It is very hard to tell without also seeing the entire chicken in side view. The comb and wattles are still quite small for 9 wks, so it could be a pullet. They will get red from being hot or running around. If you can get a side view, you would be looking for a slightly darker color across the wings on a male.

Yes, those both look like cockerels... big combs for 4 weeks! Pullets also flap and spar at this age, so that's not the best way to sex them.

Thank you, that makes me happy.
