Sight Sexing Barred Plymouth Rock Chicks at Hatch

[Long legs]

I'd say male, but where did you get this chick? It doesn't look like a Barred Rock, with those black legs...

I know, initially I thought cockerel but then the black legs have thrown me. Got just from a back yard breeder

I'm betting that's from a Barred male over some other colored female with dark legs. Rocks should have yellow legs. They will often have a dark 'wash' over their legs, but their actual legs should be yellow, and the wash will mostly be on the front sides and down the toes.

Omg I didn’t reply because I was wondering about the black legs too.

Do these sexing methods work on Dominiques?

On the 16th evening to 17th morning of April, (approximately 3 days ago) I hatched 4 cute little barred plymouth rock chicks! (YAY!!!)

Any guesses on the sex? I've tried to attach a photo of their head spots, legs and wing feathers. All chicks apart from chick 2 have started growing wing feathers, but I think it might be still too early to tell their gender. I thought it was worth checking to see if there was any experts that might be able to tell! (I have a suspicion that they might be all roos)

CHICK 1 (hatched 14 hours earlier than the others, hatched within an hour after pipping and was super active as soon as hatched, also the biggest chick):

CHICK 2 (hatched 2nd, hatched 6 hours after pipping, and also the smallest, darkest chick):

CHICK 3 (hatched 3rd, 5 hours after chick 2)

CHICK 4 (hatched last, 3 hours after chick 3)

I'm super grateful for any help and advice you can give me!
Many thanks!

Thank you!
Well that would be incredible! I hope so
I'll post some more photos each week to see if it gets clearer as they grow
