Hello,

I have 6 chicks that hatched under our two broody hens on June 19 & 20. I'm worried we have a few roo's.
I am attaching a couple photos of 5 of the chicks. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Krista

Blue Maran (I think)


Lavender Orphington #1 (smallest chick w/no tail feathers)


Black Maran (I think)
Black Maran #2 (tail feathers)​

















Lavender #2 - next photo is of the same chick. couldn't get a good shot of body.




Lavender #3 - photo below is tail feathers of lavender #3

 
oh that is hard! you could always check internally but i couldnt do it myself, i think the 1st lavender is a rooster but not too sure on the others sorry, you could always rub their backs(pertend to mate) and if they sit its a hen and if they freak out its a rooster, mine do this from a very young age i think its the best way to check but i dont think it is 100% fact but it will give you an idea, good luck!
