Aloha,
What do you think about this last round of chicks? Boy or girl?
Dad is a game mix. There are multiple purebreed moms. They are 10-11 weeks old.

#1: white leghorn mom
#2: white leghorn mom
#3: no idea...maybe one of the white leghorns (this one is my absolute favorite!)
#4: this one is only about 7 weeks old. Probably one of our black leghorns is the mom

Thanks! So fun!

It is really hard to tell at that age. Notice how varied some of the replies are? Don't sell one cause you are sure its a roo at this point. Wait till the 4 month age then you can start to tell. Good indicators: saddle feathers; roos have 'em hens don't, do NOT judge by the comb, it isnt a rooster indicator because it could mean you have a hen about to start laying, and neck feathers; this one is iffy but roosters have long, pionted hackle feathers. Good luck!
