Experience isn't really a good answer, but it is. At this age your looking at stance, body shape, comb growth, head shape. A taller chick at this age is likely a cockerel. A taller combed chick at this age is likely a cockerel. Cockerels of this age generly have longer tail feathers and slightly longer faces than their pullet counterparts. These are generel guidelines and by no mean black and white, written in stone guidelines. Every bird is different, some develop more quickly and some are late bloomers.

5 RIR
4 Plymouth Barred Rocks
2 Sigaitas
9 Golden Sex Links
2 Black Sex Links
4 EEs

4 of the Golden Sex Links are Bil's will pick them up in couple of weeks once he's built coop.

Two of the bantams are my sons' had too many for city regulations, plus one looks like a too.

I lied i have 7 bantams, lol. Chicken math at its finest.

This is one more bantam can you tell breed and sex?

This one is supposed to be golden sex link, but doesnt have the brown all the others have.

Millie Fleur D'uccle pullet and a sex link cockerel "thats why its white rather than red"

 

[Chicken Girl1]

#1. black cochin cockerel
#2. light brahma pullet
#3. gold laced cochin cockerel
#4. spangle oeg pullet

I agree with your breed guesses, but they are to young to sex for sure. But #3 has a goo chance of being a cockerel because Cochin hens are slow to develop combs and that one is pretty developed for such a young age.

Thanks, I was wondering why it didn't look like the others. So it's a mutt link! Lol or is it still considered a golden sex link?

Anyone know what breed and sex the 5th bantam is? Will try to get Picts of other two bantams that are older.
