Sexing 4 week old Isbar/Silverudd's Blue

[Sofainthefog]

I know it's still a bit early to try to be determining sex, however I have seen some people say they can see a difference with this breed at about 3-4 weeks. These are splash isbars from Alchemist Farm and they are right around the 4 week mark, maybe a couple days older. If anyone has experience with sexing Isbars I'd love to hear your theories!

I am pretty sure 2 is a rooster. 1 is the one I am leaning more toward pullet (she also weighs less than the other two), and 3 I am hoping is a pullet but I can't quite tell.

Also I will be posting an update once their sex is more apparent!

I don't have experience sexing that specific breed, but I do with other breeds. Your theories seems correct.3 could be a possible roo though but I dunno..........

I have Silverudd Blues that were hatched in Mid-May. You have three splash chicks which are beautiful. From my experience it looks like you have two pullets (1 & 3) and one cockerel (#3). We love these birds. They are very friendly. We had them in a hoop coop by themselves for several weeks. After hatching Barred Rocks we split the coop to keep the younger chicks safe. Well within and hour the Silverudds (2 months) were joining the young chicks and absolutely no issues. They have been together for about a month now and they are getting along beautifully. We ended up with 5 cockerels out of our hatch of 10 and they are wonderful.

Just wanted to share an update for anyone who views this thread, the theories were correct! 1 and 3 ended up being pullets and 2 was a roo. these photos were taken at 10 1/2 weeks.
