What sex are my duccles?

Help, these chicks are 11wks old and I'm still not 100% sure on their gender. My guesses are on the pics but I just had a rooster try mate with the white one so now I'm confused again!!

I think you're right these do look like three cockerels and one pullet.

 

[minihorse927]

I believe your correct.

 

[dragonbex]

Thanks, would the reason the rooster was going the smaller one be for dominance then?

 

[minihorse927]

More than likely. Roosters who do not grow up together tend to not get along and do not like new comers who threaten their spot as top man in the house.

They all hatched together but the larger one is a diff breed, so maybe he is simply doing it because he is bigger and maybe a bit dumb ;-)

I think that your guesses are correct.

I agree with your guesses.

some breeds mature faster than others and sometimes you just get one that's a little more aggressive than the others. My d'uccle boys never seem to have a mean bone in their little bodies.

I believe you are right.
