When can you tell if you have any roo's?

Any opinions on what gender?

Pics aren't great, and too young to tell for sure. What breeds? 5 looks like a Crested Cream Legbar, and if it is, I am certain of gender.

5 is an olive egger. Sorry for the bad pics.

All could be hen s for all I can tell. Side shots of them in a more natural setting would give more hints if any were roo's. At this point all I can say with any degree of accuracy is that they are all Girls ...........OR Boys

Thank you! I'll try and get better pics, but it probably won't be soon because it took so long last time!

I understand they are not often willing subjects. If you can get pics of them in the brooder pen or whatever that might be good enough or even better depending on your setup.

And as silly as it seems you can put your hand in the brooder and lightly shake your finger at em kinda in their face the girls will likely put heads down and try to get in the huddle the boys are likely to put their heads up and kinda follow the finger or puff out the chest and raise tiny hackles a bit. Sounds silly but has proven to be pretty accurate.

True. It is silly and has no basis in fact.

No, not yet.

They are still a bit young but none of them are screaming male to me. I know it is hard to wait but a couple more weeks with pics of their sides that show hackles and saddle feathers will help.

Thank you all, I guess I post them again next week.

One way I can pretty much tell is that generally the females will get tail buds before the males do. Might not work with all breeds.
