When are they old enough to tell it pullet or cockrell? + baby pics!

[HB&B]

They are only 6 days old, but wondering when I will be able to tell if they're pullets or cockrells? They are barnyard mixes.

AND... My favorite

Too little for me to tell. Can you post again in a few weeks?

 

[HB&B]

I sure can and definently will. My guess is that in the 2nd pic the one poking his head out the most is a roo and the rest pullets

. we will see though.

I have found that I am usually right when I "just have a feeling" that a particular one is a roo!!!!

Like they act bossier, or just more energetic, etc.!!

Enjoy them!

For most breeds you can tell reliably by 6 weeks.

they look like mine. There a mix also I found the black beak ones are males. As for the half and half it's a toss up unless you sexed then 1 day old. Sorry hope there all pullets but just a heads up. Mine are Rooster barred rock, I have R I R, araconda,barred rock and buff orphington hens

Those are some very cute little ones!

My black chicks are standard leghorn bantam mexi game cock mixes. The Bantams are Mexi game cock and bantam jap mixes. They've got a lot else in them too.

Yes, after about 6 weeks it is very obvious. I just figured out both my BCM's are MALE!!!! UGH! AND one of my wellsummer pullets crowed! I seem to have an ever growing roo issue and I am going to have to learn how to dispatch them fast! My oldest Roo is destined for the pot! He is awful and I am sick of MEAN roos....I might keep these around and see if they are nice.
