[mndgrrl]

i bought 6 RIR chicks that were all supposed to be of the female persuasion LOL however, even though i've never HAD chickens before i'm relatively certain that one is a male...... any help here please? chick 1 is like the other 4, chick 2 is different

Way to early for a positive ID, but looks rooish to me.

Chick 2 is leaning roo. How old are they?

 

[mndgrrl]

they are 4 weeks old.... chick #2 also seems to have a lot more white markings, and (s)he's been pecking the other 4 in the head haha

The comb seems a bit big for a pullet at four weeks, but time will tell. The pecking is not necessarily indicative of gender. It could just be sorting out the pecking order.

The second photo looks like a little boy so far, but it still is a bit early. I'm sure you'll know in a week or two.
