What gender are my chickens? *LOTS OF PICS!*

[sunny & the 5 egg layers]

My chicks are 7-8 weeks old. I need some help identifying what gender each one of them are. I got them from the pullet bin at TSC but I am pretty sure I may have a roo mixed in there. Thank you.

#2 A Production Red

You took some awesome pictures of them!! I agree with conner.. 1 & 5.

Thank you guys. #1 and #5 actually make a different sound then all the others. Its like a deeper sound whenever I try to pick them up. Would that mean roo?

I don't know about #1.

I agree that #5 is a roo.

Sounds can vary rooster to rooster, breed to breed. My Modern Game rooster has a VERY high pitched voice compared to his girlie's voices; which is very funny to watch considering he's slightly taller and more robust than them.

And yes I agree with you all, 1 and 5 are roosters.​

It is my understanding that with production reds, the hen is red & the rooster is white. I have Golden Comets, all hens and they have large combs & whattles. Austroplorps also tend to have larger combs & whattles and mature slowly.

#5 is the only one that I think is a rooster.
