Welsummer expert needed - Can you help me sex them???

[Greenwood Chick]

These cuties hatched Saturday. I'm thinking one boy and 2 girls. And one, I'm not sure about... What do you guys think? Someone with lots of Welsummer experience please help me out!

(should I get a pic showing their eyes too?)

Hi,

Starting at 12 o'clock and going clock-wise: male, female, female and ?.

The one at 4 o'clock appears to be a male as well but I can't see it well enough to know for sure.

God Bless,

Looks like you have 3 girls and 1 boy. But yes eyes and chests would help!! One on top left is male.

I think when they are growning you can also tell by the color of their chest. Red chest feathers they are girls, brown chest feathers they are boy.

I'm going to be the odd gal out and say it looks like 3 boys and one girl. You'll start seeing black chest feathers on the boys at about 2.5-3 weeks.

Pronounced V shapes on the top of the head would indicate pullet. A faint outlined V is a male. 1 male 3 females

Well, it was a lot harder to get all 4 with eyes and chests showing than I thought it would be! So, I took another one with the tops of the heads too. For what it's worth here's an attempt at getting 4 chicks to pose!

Thanks for all your help!

I'm seeing 2 of each, time will tell the truth.
My welsummer chicks I've been about 90 % right.
And at 3 to 4 weeks its easier to tell. The roos combs will get big.

I'm gonna say 3 pullets and one cockerel. The one at 6 o'clock looks like it has a good eye-liner and I think the headcap is well-defined enough to say its a pullet. The one at 3 o'clock is a cockerel.

God Bless,
