Rooster or Hen?

[Aliviasoko]

Hi everyone! I am looking to see if anyone can tell if my 4 week old bantams are hens or roosters. I have 3 and they all look a little different from one another. I feel like Chick 1 is a girl and 3 is a rooster but can’t tell forsure about chick 2. I’m leaning towards rooster. Thanks in advance for your help and thoughts!

I think 2 and 3 are roosters

Well I'm not sure about 3

I'm not seeing dark combs or wattles, so I'm voting (tentatively) pullets, but that could change since they're still too young to be certain.

The reason I was concerned was that chick 1 is 2 days older so the two being bigger and developing more feathers was concerning me what age will I know for certain?

Usually 8 weeks, but I have a barnyard mix that stumped everyone until he was closer to 9 weeks and started getting male specific coloring.

6ish weeks, barely a comb or wattle to speak of:

8.5 weeks still a small comb, but darker . . red leakage was the telltale sign

Yesterday, 15 weeks

I agree that they are too young for positive gender ID. Around 7 or 8 weeks comb development and male specific feathering should make ID more realistic.

Hi again! The chicks are hitting 7 weeks now and I was wondering if anyone had a better idea of their sexes. Picture 1 is chick 1 now and picture 2 is chick 2&3.
Thanks!
