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? :confused:

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! :welcome Enjoy your beautiful chicks! :love

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

:lol: 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! :love
 
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.
