What breed mix and gender are these?

[Jgush]

What breed mix and or gender do you think these are? I have 4, 6 week old chicks. What does everyone think? That black rooster looking one has yellow legs. And had waddles etc at 3 weeks. The rooster looking one is also dense to hold (when it lets you)

The first one looks like a barred rock or mix of that breed. It's a cockerel.

The second one, black and white, is an Easter egger mix. I think it is a cockerel, too.

#3 is a pullet. Could be an Easter egger, Hamburg or Wyandotte mix.

#4 is in between, but I think it is another cockerel. Close call, though, so I would give it some more time. Maybe a Wyandotte or Cinnamon Queen mix.

Why are you thinking the second one is a cockerel? I’m going to be bummed because it is so endearing and puffy.

1.Cockeral (Barred rock mix)
2.Cockeral(early wattle and comb development) EE mix
3.Pullet Not sure on breed
4.Pullet not sure on breed

You can update at 8 weeks and we can confirm!

Its comb seems pretty wide, and the legs look thick. Give it some more time to be sure, though. We don't have crystal balls but must evaluate based on what we see in one photo, usually, and that's not always 100% accurate.

*I edited to say not 100% accurate, sorry. We do the best we can, though.

How do they look now?

no crowing as of late from any of these at 8 weeks old

Looks to me as you still have 1 Cockerel and 3 pullets. Your EE is very pretty

 

[Jgush]

That would be wonderful if I have a few pullets!

Still no crowing. Any thoughts?
