Hi Everyone,

This is our first go at raising chicks so I don't know if it's too early to tell or not but I've noticed in the last fews days that I have been able to tell the difference between them. If it is too early how can I tell and what do I look out for?

I'll number the chicks so it's hopefully a bit easier to comment on,

Thanks! Hopefully after reading enough posts over time I'll eventually be able to help people out to return the favour :)

Great! Well that sounds promising that we will hopefully get a couple of hens hopefully :-D thanks!

Can you tell me what you are looking at to make those predictions? That way I might be able watch them with a bit of knowledge :-D
 
1.Cockerel
2.pullet
3.pullet? Combs a tad bigger then num 2
4.pullet? Combs bigger to but not screaming rooster
5.most likely pullet

What I'm mostly looking at is the comb and wattles if the helps :).

Yes same I mostly looked at the comb and wattles and if the cockerels are starting to develop spurs on the backs of their legs is another way, cockerels also tend to have a bigger frames,e.g thicker legs etc
