Sexing a new group of chicks

[teriz1091]

These chicks were given to us. We’ve established that there are 2 Speckled Sussex & 2 Silver Laced Wyandotte. I’m fairly certain the Sussex are pullets, but the Wyandottes are both larger, & I’m curious if we ended up with 2 cockerels.

Betty, Fred, Wilma, & Barney. (I named them assuming they’re boys. If not, oh well!)

We also got these 2 turkey poults for free. Any idea on sex & breed of these?

We call this one Pebbles.

And this one Bam Bam.

Thanks in advance for helping me with the Flinstone flock!

I love the names! Any idea of age on the chicks? Also, are you able to get a better photo of their combs and neck/tail feathers?

I don’t have a clue. Shot in the dark guess - maybe 4-5 weeks? We’ve had them 2 weeks, & they came to us already fully feathered. I apologize for the poor pictures, I’ll try to get some in the light tomorrow.

I should think they are probably at least 8 weeks if they were fully feathered 2 weeks ago....but I might be wrong there!

Age would certainly help - the widest one - has the darkest comb and showing more wattles. Could be a boy or precocious girl. Really need to evaluate them standing in natural side profile.

We need comb pics in natural daylight without flash....
