Sexing of 5 week old chicks! Help!

[BenlynFarm]

I know some of these it will likely be too early to tell but I’m so anxious! I’ll post individual pictures in this thread of all of them and you let me know what you think. They are all 5 weeks old except the first and last pictures. Thank you so much!

Chicken #1 This guy is 4 months, Dark Brahma and I’m pretty sure is a rooster just wanted to confirm.

Chicken #2 I was told Splash Cochin but is a different color than the other splash

Chicken #3 Blue Cochin

Chicken #4 Splash Cochin

Chicken #5 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

Chicken #6 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

Chicken #7 Silver Laced Wyandotte and is supposed to be a sexed pullet

Chicken #8 Dark Blue Laced Red Wyandotte

Chicken #9 Silver Wyandotte and is supposed to be a sex pullet

Chicken #10 Dark Brahma

Chicken #11 Dark Brahma

Chicken #12 Partridge Silkie

Chicken #13 Partridge Silkie

Chicken #14 Bonus Chicken, not positive on breed but maybe RIR

Chicken #15 Welsummer

Chicken #16 4 month old Splash Silkie

A lot of chicks! Great photos and head shots are perfect! Maybe too early for some of them, especially the silkies, but here are my guesses!
1 is a boy
2 is a girl
3 is a girl
4 is a boy
5 is a girl
6 is a boy
7 is a girl
8 is a boy
9 I am on the fence with as you state is sexed pullet, but comb is pretty red this early so leaning towards boy!
10 is a boy
11 is a girl
12 is a silkie so way too early but looks like a boy
13 same as 12
14, single comb, could go either way but leaning towards a girl
15 is a boy
16 again a silkie, but leaning towards a boy
Phew!

5 weeks isn't the best age to sex. As always, updated photos in a few weeks will help tons.

Wow, what a mixture of birds and all so healthy looking. No guesses from me on the sex of them as I'm too new at this and I'm sure I'd be wrong.

Well, you would have a 50/50 shot of getting it right!

Thanks so much! It was a big group of chicks! Thankfully one of my broody hens took on 9 of them for me! This batch went way better than our spring batch except that there are so many roosters

Thanks so much! I’ll post updates in a few weeks! And thanks for letting me know about the bonus chick!

I have a problem Since I agree so many seem like roosters, I went ahead and started another batch!

Hi,

just checking in...who from your first lot ended up as girls and boys? Sitting with my 5 week old chicks pondering who’s what!

Yes I agree, it would be good to know how they turned out! Fun to see if any of my guesses were correct
