What genders do I have? Any guesses?

[Painted Calls]

Brahmas are pullets. I don't see any RSLs. I see a RIR/Production Red. If the BSL is in fact a BSL, it's a pullet.

The rest need to be around 6 weeks old to be more accurate.

Yes they should all be pullets, they had the straight run chicken breeds in a different place.

In that case, there are a few options:

--If all the labels are right, you probably have just pullets of the breeds they said. There is a chance of one or two being sexing-error males, but probably not many, and they are not particularly obvious right now. So you will have to wait and see.

--If some or all of the labels are wrong, then you may have wrong genders and/or wrong breeds. Trying to check the sexlinks by color is hopeless if the labels might be wrong, because they could easily be other breeds where color does not tell you anything.

Either way, I do not see any really obvious males, so I think you will just have to wait and see as they get older. Some pullets do grow their combs faster than others, and all of yours are within the range that COULD be either a female or a male at this age.

Yeah, I’ll give it 2-3 more weeks, and update this thread.

Alrighty, here is the updated pictures. 6/1/2 weeks. The other 2 brahmas are females, and I’ve got one male copper maran.

The first Golden Laced Wyandotte seems to have a rather large and red comb. That one might be a male, although I wouldn't be positive yet. If it is a male, it should become much more obvious over the next few weeks.

At 6 1/2 weeks, the others might all be females. Some of the combs look a little big, but I think they are all within the range that could be female. Since they were labeled female, I think they probably are, although it is too early to be positive. The next few weeks will probably make their gender much clearer one way or the other.

Thanks! I’m really hoping that those leghorns end up female

I think you have a very good chance of them being female.

They have combs and wattles that are very pale, which means either female or slow-maturing male. But a slow-maturing male would be unlikely in the Leghorn breed, since they are known for maturing quickly
