Hi,

Can I ask what breeds they are? Also 1 and 2 look younger than 4 weeks to my eye and too young to guess maybe.

For now out of 3, 4 and 5 there are none that are standing out as roos to me.

2. Buff Opington (4 weeks today)
3. Silver Laced Wyndotte
4. Australorp older
5. French Wheat Maran

Thanks for your comments

What a lovely group of breeds! I've read that some breeds are slow to feather so perhaps that's why those two look a little younger. My Buff Orp had quite a few feathers at 4 weeks, I'll add a picture but her head is still mostly just fuzz so maybe it's just the angle of the picture that makes them look younger.

I can see the silver laced now but I have no experience in the other breeds so while to me they look like pullets I'm knew to this.

1 and 2 I think need a little more time but this waiting game is hard isn't it! But as I'm say I'm not a professional

Where did you get yours from? Or did you hatch them?

1,4 and 5 were purchased as day old chicks

Self- hatch 2 and 3

Your BO is lovely

The first two pics were not taken at 4-6 weeks. If so, they are at least 3 weeks developmentally delayed. The second two pics are still a bit young yet to sex.

Please post pics at 6 weeks of age, showing combs and wattles.

the BO chick was photographed about 4 hours younger than 4 weeks old but she (I wish it’s she) did grow a bit slowly than expected

Will post in 2 weeks again for sure
