Sexing help for my mini flock

[JenWillo]

HI

I wonder if anyone can take a guess please at my mini flock. All 6 weeks old.

1 is a lavender leghorn
2 is a marans
3 and 4 are buff Orpington

I also have a 5 but he is so definitely a he.

thanks in advance!

To young to tell

On the fence with number one, the rest look like pullets so far. It is a bit early to be sure. With Marans you can usually tell by five weeks of age. See the attached photoS for a close-up comparison. Orpingtons are a bit tricky and females can get combs early along with the Marans. Your photos are not 100% clear. Try posting some really good close-ups of their heads if you’re able.
Nice looking chicks!

I would say the first is likely a roo but the rest seem like hens to me

No obvious signs of boys yet.

I'm not seeing any definite roos, I'm going with pullets right now for all of them! A few of my hens had larger looking combs but no red in them around this age (the awkward stage) as their heads were getting their feathers in lol. So I say all pullets so far.

One is iffy, just because the comb seems a little larger but not obvious that it is a roo yet.

Marans I’m pretty sure is a pullet. Heres is my roo Marans at 5 weeks, and his comb turned red and grew pretty much overnight!

I have two buff orps as well, and I think they looked pretty similar to yours at 6ish weeks, so my guess is pullet.

Good luck on your sexing!
