Too soon for the Hen or Roo game?

[SteveSS14]

I let one of my girls sit on 5 eggs - 2 weeks ago all 5 hatched. She was sitting on 3 easter egger eggs..... one large brown egg I believe was from a black sex link and a smaller brown egg I believe was laid by a buff orpington. The rooster is a RIR.

Is it too early to play the hen or roo game?

here are the chicks with my guesses. . . .

I think Rooster.....

Im guessing Hen....

Rooster???

Hen???

and since I really dont want any more roosters -- this one will probably be a rooster too!

Same.I think that black handomse chicks a roo.Its combs very yellow.when he grows it will be a dark red.That's your first sign.I say cock.The others look like pullets,but magic happens,ya know!




Good luck.

Yes, it's too early, however, my gut reaction to the first one is cockerel. If that was in my coop, I'd call it right now.

Probably cockerel.



Probably pullet.

Tall stance makes me suspicious that this is a cockerel.

Looks like a pullet for now, though the stance/thick legs are slightly suspicious.

Based on the tail, feathering, and comb these are my guesses. Cockerel 100% Pullet Pullet Cockerel Pullet
