I got 6 straight run chicks from TSC a couple weeks ago. The pictures I'm sharing are from yesterday at 15 days old. Now that the combs are coming in I'm pretty sure I have 2 roos and 4 pullets, but I'm still not sure about the breed. From my research I think they're either NHR or RIR. Maybe someone here can shed a little light? Thanks bunches :)







 
They look like production reds ( hatchery quality Rhode Island Reds) Can you post individual pictures to determine gender? I definitely see two cockerels, but I'm not sure about the others from the pictures.
 
Hi Kellermama! I have to tell you that to me Chicoletta is definitely a pullet. Dick and Sonic look like cockerels and Hope and Kami also look like cockerels. I hope I'm wrong for your sake but the legs, combs, and wattles all look pretty thick. They also have the upright posture of a cockerel. Ophelia is sleeping but I think she is also a pullet. I am not an expert. I have been looking at these threads to help me sex my own chicks. Good luck!

x2 I agree
 
Chickoletta looks like a pullet. They rest are definitely cockerels, but I'm not sure about Ophelia, but I'm also leaning toward cockerel. Upon seeing the pictures they now remind me of red ranger meat birds.
