pullets or cockerels?

[EmilyEnns]

i have a total of 15 chicks including purebred playmouth barred rock and BCM and two little EEs (so i’ve been told). They are 7 weeks old and starting to grow combs and waddles i’m guessing i have 8 pullets and 7 cockerels! what do you see?

I can't tell very well where the pics overlap, but all the BRs with lighter barring (double white barring) are most likely cockerels. Also the black chick on the right in the middle pic.

If the barred rocks have black coloring on their feet they are likely pullets

But based on feather coloring I'd say the 2 barred rocks on the left are pullets and the rest are cockerels

I dunno...I have a hen that’s the same color as the four barreds on the bottom...

Huh! From what I've heard usually the double white barring means roo, but of course it varies bird to bird. Sorry if I"m wrong about that!

2 BR pullets, 6 BR cockerels. The Marans all appear to be pullets (I believe there are 4?). The black EE on the bottom roost is a cockerel. I think the other EE is on the top roost but can’t see the comb clearly enough.

No that’s right. Just for the roosters the black barring is extremely thin.

hi! thanks for all the help! i’ve shared the photos again and numbered the chicks so there’s no mix ups!
i believe that the female chicks are: 1,3,5,6,7,11,13,14

what do you think?
