Rooster or hen?

[Pandaisy]

I need your help sexing three of my 28 chicks. They are outside with the other chicks. I am not sure anymore if they are hens. The first one is one of my chicks. The second one has some speckles, but maybe not enough? The third one is my runt, still fits into my hand. They are all three weeks old now. Thank you for your help in advance!

The one in the middle is male. The other two look like hens, but I see a hint of red in the third one, so it might turn out to be male. The first one might not be feather sexable.

The first looks like my jumbo hen, but I don't know if wilds are feather sexable. I'm not sure on the others yet. Not great with feather sexing. If rather just vent sex, my self

Thank you! I put the second one back inside. Here is my chick again, different angle.

Looks like a Sparkley... I am not familiar with them, so I wouldn't dare a bet on gender

Thank you anyway! I guess I just have to wait and see. Fingers crossed my two Cinamon turn out to be hens. Maybe I keep them anyway. I am down to one Falb Fee hen, the rest is roosters. I feel bad for not being sad about it.

I am over-paceing at the moment, either.

Have to build bigger breeding boxes, to fit all the chicks

Would not be the badest to have some more roos in the freezer, as there is still room

So gotta do what you gotta do. They are just filling up the space, eat all the food and never lay eggs. My father is always the first one to eat my processed birds, but he can't look at them when they are still alive or help me process them. Hats off to everyone who eats meat and can do the deed.

Yeah... meat always was an animal.

Just grapping stuff from a supermarket shelf makes many forget this.
