These 4 fluffy butts will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. Any guesses on gender? The were hatched on Valentine's Day! 2 are white bearded and 2 are bearded partridge (blue/brown).

I'm going to guess that number 1 is a roo.. but its hard to tell, does seem to have lest of a hen head poof than the others.

soooooo hard to tell, but I'm going to say you have boy, girl, boy, girl.

boy, girl, boy, boy

Hard to tell! The multiple view ones are easier to guess I think. All are adorable!!

Try this...It's hard to tell on the pics but look closely at the comb. The wider the chick's comb is the more likely it is a boy. I noticed this on my chicks and I was right on 10 out of 10 silkies.

You will know a rooster when it crows, they are loud

I think 3 is a male.

Well, out of all 4, it is #3 that acts the most 'roo'. They were all hatched at the same time, but 3 is also the biggest.

#2 and #4 are the most docile. They will cuddle on our lap and not freak out. #1 and #3 take a lot more to settle down.

TYTT: Too Young To Tell. Wait a few months; then you will know.
