Sexing my Rhode Island Reds Chicks

[Faraz1]

So I have 3 Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicks that are around 4 weeks old and was wondering if they are sexable or not ?

Lets call them Chick A, B and C.

Chick A and B are larger than Chick C and are slightly darker. They also have a more pronounced comb as compared with chick C whose comb is almost non-existent at this stage. (Please take a look at the attached headshots)

However chick C has a more pointed tail, which i am not sure means anything at this stage.

Based on my guesses. Chick A and B are Males. whilst Chick C is a female.

Please let me know your thoughts ! Thanks.

I would wait a little longer. I've had pullets who looked like that at 4 weeks. 4 weeks is the age where things look weird. For now,I think they're all pullets.

Agree, you should know with certainty in 2 to 3 weeks time.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I will provide an update in a couple of weeks.

I agree with this post but just give it a few weeks to be sure.

Hi All,

So am back after a few weeks with some updates. They are now 8 weeks old today and i have some more pics attached.

Any guesses from which ones are pullets and which ones are cockrels ?
