Roosters or hens?

[Ruby Mia]

i have two mixed breed chicks, pip a mix of sultan and one of my x- battery hans (not sure what breed she is) and penny a mix of sultan and a grey hen that i have (not sure what breed she is either but you can see in my photos). they are both 8 weeks old and we think penny is a rooster and pip is a hen. i poasted a thread a couple of weeks ago and people thaught the same, but thaught they were a little too young. what do you think they are? here are some pics;

I would look at there tail feathers and if they are shiny and skinny and long I would say rooster. I personally think penny is a rooster.

Penny is almost certainly a rooster. Pip is probably a hen, though she could just be a slower developing rooster. Post new photos in a week or two.

hopefully you will have at least 1 hen!

Penny is a cockerel, Pip is a pullet.
