Sexing chickens

[lnm03]

Hello! My children are in FFA and this year are showing chickens. When we got them, we were told they are all hens, however I now have my doubts. Can y’all help me, please!

2 are Mille fleur bearded belgian d'uccle
—first one we believe is male now but still not 100%
—second one we thought was femal but now I’m not sure.
1 sebright (pretty sure it’s a female)
1 black copper maran (believe female)

Thank you so very much!

How old are they?

If they are over 12 weeks old, they're females

How old are they?

I knew someone was going to ask this. I was out of town when my husband and kids got them, in August.

My daughter said she believes they are these ages:

Mille fleur with bigger comb: 5 1/2 mo (22wks)
Mille fleur with smaller comb: 19 weeks
Sebright: 7 or 8 months (not laying yet though, if hen)
Maran: 6-7 months (not laying yet if hen)

Yeah, they're definitely pullets. Good luck in the shows!

All are females.

This is the one someone told us was a rooster. About 5 1/2 months (22weeks).
Other pic wasn’t great.

That's female. Has zero rooster plumage.

That's female. Has zero rooster plumage.

That’s a relief as we can’t have roosters!
