Mixed. About 5 weeks. Maybe a smidge older.

Bantam, or standard?

I don't see anything that screams cockerel, personally. I'd update in 3 more weeks when "Eve" is 2 months old.

I was told an old wives tale that if you hold a chicken upside down by its feet, if it just dangles and chills it’s going to be a hen. If it curls up towards your hand freaking out it’s a male… Eve and one other are the only ones displaying male behavior when I do this.

4/6 of mine need to get with the program then. I was curious and tried it back when they were chicks yet unless I have magical egg laying cockerels then I wouldn’t put any faith in that
