So, I just received seven amazing and adorable Red stars. They are approximately 5 weeks old. any tips on confirming they are hens at this age? Most of the info found online are tips when they are day or two old.

I am jealous of your lack of snow. I am not a strong enough guesser yet but my two cents is that you have all hens. DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

I'm new at this. They are so cute! I can't get enough of them. I ordered six hens, but was mailed seven as they thought one might be a rooster. Time will tell.

Were they purchased as hens or roosters?

 

[Mommachirp]

The purchase were for six hens, but they delivered seven because that weren't sure of one

Red stars are supposed to be sex linked, which means you can tell the pullets from the cockerels when they hatch. It looks like you have 7 hens
