Roosters? All crossbreeds.

[RonniAus]

Hi everyone, I have three babies, 12 weeks old now. Crossbreeds, which makes it a bit trickier.

My gut says all three are roosters, but I'm pretty certain on the black and red boy. Having some confusion around the buff speckled baby, and the barred rock lookalike.

Any opinions would be fab.

The only rooster I see is the big black one standing behind the buff in the first picture. The rest look like pullets.

Looks like you have 3 pullets. What breeds are the parents of these chickens?

Same here. For 12 weeks they all look like pullets to me.

I will cross my fingers hard then. The black baby with the red ruff had early comb development and reddening, but it hasn't really grown since.

Thank you!

That one appears to be a Black Sex Link pullet.

Thank you!

I blew the pic up and it still looks like a female.



Pretty birds by the way.

Honestly, I have no idea. Eggs came from a mixed dozen from my neighbour, no pure bred hens there. I wanted some more hens to lay larger eggs for selling.

I'm much better at playing rooster vs pullet when I'm using my own eggs. But my flock lays small eggs and I wanted some bigger girls.

It's possible? Maybe? I'm in Tasmania and the eggs came from my neighbours mixed flock.
