Please help confirm the sexes?

[Jenyenydot]

Hello! I have 4 young chickens I was hoping you could help confirm the sexes of. They were all born April 22, and are 13 weeks old. I have had them since May 2.

#1 - Adelaide - Easter Egger

#2 - Bellatrix - California White

#3 - Carlotta - Rhode Island Red

#4 - Daphne - R. I. Red

1, 3 female
2 male
4 possible male
Fairly positive on the first 3

#2 is mixed with leghorn so it might get a red comb early and still be a pullet.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

All pullets.

 

[Overo Mare]

All pullets.

Yes - half leghorn, and has very round-ended, straight, blunt tail feathers. The one I’m suspicious of is #4, with the pointed tail feathers.

The tail feathers do not mean much. It is the saddle feathers at the base of the tail that you need to look at. Number 4 has rounded saddle feathers and a very small comb= PULLET

Oh and welcome to BYC.

I hope you’re right that they’re all pullets! Roosters are illegal in Seattle, so if any turn out to be cockerels I’ll need to re-home them somehow.

You can be very sure and no need to worry. Post again when they have laid their first egg, that is always fun to see.
