It is a cockerel. It's not a Langshan or Marans because the feet are yellow, not white. Maybe an olive egger, or maybe a Cochin.

I've never seen buff Orpington chicks with markings on them like that. It doesn't necessarily mean they're not purebreds, but it's suspicious. I would contact the breeder with photos. Beyond that, there's not much you can do except wait to see what they're like as they grow/feather out.

Indeed! Hmong chickens weren't bred to be fast developers like Faverolles or most of the other American and European breeds, so far as I know. It's just going to take a bit of time. They are pretty.

Yes, it is a mixed breed. Of what, tough to say. It looks kind of like a Sussex but has yellow legs. Maybe a Leghorn cross? I'm just not sure but it is very pretty.

The comb has some color but it is small. I don't know, this could go either way in my opinion. It's probably going to take a couple of more weeks to tell for sure. The comb size and color are the two things to keep an eye on. I wouldn't put much stock in behavior to judge gender at this age...

3 and 4 have a bit of wattle development, so they could be cockerels. For me these aren't mature enough to tell gender with any kind of certainty. I'd give them some more time, keeping an eye on the combs and wattles. Growth spurts in those areas in the next few weeks would most likely mean a...

It's tough to say without seeing its comb. That is the most important thing to go by when they're young.

They are pullets. Cinnamon Queens are sex links. Males would have a lot of white/silver in their plumage, not red.

The first one has a rose comb, so probably a Dominique rather than an olive egger. It looks to be a cockerel. Polish take a long time to tell. All I can say is that so far it shows no red in the comb/wattles/face. So that's a good sign. If the last one is cuckoo Marans x cream legbar, then it...

She looks to be in great condition despite her ordeal. I'm guessing she's over a year old, but not by much. White Plymouth Rock is as good a guess as any. She's not a Leghorn.

Going by comb size, I think there is a good possibility it is a cockerel. I'd wait a bit to be sure, though.

It's too early to say. 6 weeks is a good time to start trying to determine gender, unless you see a big, colorful comb before then.

It's not pure black. Whether it's chocolate is another question, and I'm not sure of the answer. Hopefully a Silkie specialist will help out, but it could take time.

Yes, it's a pullet, and it's some type of Easter egger. Maybe a fibro Easter egger.

They're brassy back old English game bantams.

The EE and RIR are pullets. I think the rumpless one is likely to be a cockerel with that amount of comb and wattles at 14 weeks. A clear, top view photo of its back and saddle are would be helpful.

With a comb that size and color at 6-7 weeks, he is a cockerel.

Good deal! Sometimes pullets can get bigger combs early. But I was also looking at its overall lighter color, which is another sign of a male. But what the lab says goes.

The Faverolles is a pullet. The barred rock is looking like a cockerel to me. The Orpington is looking like a pullet so far, but these can be slow to mature, so I wouldn't say it is definite yet. Same story with the Sapphire Sky. So far it is looking like a pullet but things could change.

This is a pullet.
