Pullet or Roo

these guys are 8 weeks old. Soon to be 9 this Saturday. What gender are they?

 

[SugarChick]

Also what Breed do you think they are?

These look very small for that age. They may need a better feed with higher protein % or maybe the age is incorrect. All that said, I see no signs of any of them being cockerels at this stage. But they're not really feathered out enough or big enough to know for sure, so maybe try when they're 2 or 3 weeks older.

Ok I’ll take more at 10 weeks. Their size can be explained. Their mom is a bantam and their dad is a regular sized. They are 8 weeks old though as they were hatched on March 31

That makes sense, but they should be more feathered out at that age, unless they have some kind of slow developing breed in their ancestry. Anyway, it's good news that none look like cockerels so far. Hopefully it will stay that way!

Still not seeing any signs in the new pics of them being cockerels.

Yes. I have two roosters from the other batch before it so I don’t need any more. I have two more baby chicks that are younger but they are only about 3 weeks old
