What genders do I have? Any guesses?

[SeabassSarmale]

Hey guys, I’ve got quite the list of chicks I’d like to take a gander on (see what I did there?) They are 4/1/2 weeks old, which is a little early, but I’d love some guesses on them.
(Each picture is a individual bird, and the marans are slightly younger, but I think the black copper is male based off comb size this early). Breeds are: Dark Brahma, Red and Black sex link, GLW, Blue and Black CM, White Leghorn.

Hello! My guesses (in order of photos) are:
Cockerel
Pullet
Cockerel
Unsure
Unsure (Pullet?)
Cockerel
Cockerel
Cockerel
Unsure (Pullet?)
Cockerel
Pullet
Cockerel
Unsure

These are just my guesses and I can’t be sure about anything, because I can’t see them in person and can’t monitor their behavior or other physical traits. Sorry, other people may be able to answer better than I can. Hope you find out soon!

I think based off of feathers, the 2 brahmas are females, but other then that, I’m not 100% sure about the others. Thanks for the reply!

The brahmas are the first two pictures, correct?

Yes! @Overo Mare @JedJackson @Rhodebar Lover @NatJ , @fluffycrow any ideas guys?

Okay. The reason why I think the first is a cockerel and the second is a pullet is because of chest feathering patterns, and because of the posture of the chick in the first picture. I could be wrong, but that’s just what I think.

It's too early for me to have much opinion on most of them. The big combs could be females of early maturing/big comb breeds (like Leghorn) or they could be males of other breeds. The small combs could be females of almost any breed, or they could be males of slow-maturing breeds.

For sexlinks:
If they are identified correctly, you can tell gender by colors.
A "red sexlink" that is actually red must be a female, because a male would be white.
A "black sexlink" female would be black, while a male would be black with white barring.

But if they are not really sexlinks, they could be either gender. For example:
I see a red chick that could be a Rhode Island Red (either gender), or it could be a red sexlink female.
I see a black chick that could be a Black Jersey Giant (either gender), or it could be a black sexlink female.

Where did you get the chicks? What were they supposed to be?

So I got them from a co-op, and what I posted is what breed they were getting sold as.

Did they say what gender they were supposed to be?

Some co-ops and stores are good about keeping chicks labeled correctly, but some mix up the labels or the chicks (or let the chicks mix themselves by going from bin to bin.)

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