Pulleys or Roosters?

[Gillie77]

Hi all brand new here, I am new to raising backyard chickens and have 4 chicks who we think are 4-5weeks old. The red island Rhode apparently was sexed and is a pullet, and the brown Easter Egger is an auto sexing female ? Do you think they are correct and what about the other two? The pictures are as day olds and then 4 week olds

Still a little too early to know for sure on #2 and #4 (though nothing's screaming male as of now), but #1 is an auto-sexed cockerel. It's possible #3 could be an auto-sexed pullet, as well, since they appear to be a Crele type. Never heard of Brown Easter Eggers, so is it possible she's a Cream Legbar?

By the way, #4 isn't a Rhode Island Red, if that's the one you were referring to. Red Sex Link, perhaps?

Many warm welcomes to this wonderful community! Enjoy your beautiful chicks!

To be honest, all of them look like chickens to me. I don't see any pulleys.

Totally kidding! Autocorrect always "fixes" pullets for me :/ They are a little young to tell. Post in a few weeks to get a more accurate idea of the gender, but for now I'd say they all look female to me. Looks like they will be very pretty!

As Alex said, it may still be a bit too early to say for sure, but, like you were told, I'm guessing birds 3 and 4 are pullets, and bird one and two...well, I guess I'll say pullet for the second one--the grey colored chick--and am guessing it's a lavender Orpington. Where did you get them from? The first chick I have no idea on its breed...it just looks like it has some barring on it. At this point, I'm guessing it's a male Bielefelder. And the fourth chick is no Rhode Island Red...I think it's some sort of Red Sex Link.
