I've also had no problems with Ideal Hatchery and refunds when needed. I actually have found their chick-to-adult ratio to like actually surviving laying eggs much better than Cackles. Though I feel Cackles has some better looking birds for some breeds.

You just kinda get an eye for it over time. Looking at the comb growth and waddle buds. Almost aways, any comb ans waddle budding before 3 weeks is a rooster. Any red is caused from testosterone, indicative of a male. Breeds like old english game bantams and Japanese Bantams are incredibly easy...

So cute!

2nd photo Barred Rock is a baby roo, agree 3 weeks old

Lol, cute!

The dark grey bird on the left is also male.

Yes, a baby roo.

The striped chick is a black breasted red old english game bantam. Sending you hugs!

Agree, just the black is male.

The only pullets are your 2nd white silkie and the black silkie imo.

4 is the minimum in Virginia, 2 for ducks

Did he make it?

The person above is correct, Polish with a black bird parent. Could be something like Black OEGB

Pullet

Red Pyle OEGB, Partridge Cochin, White Laced Cornish Bantam from Ideal Poultry. Rhode Island Red Bantam (terrible low hardiness, died before 1 year old due to internal egg issue, 2/2 of them), crele OEGB, Japanese Bantams (mottled), and Mille Fleur d'Uccle from Cackle Hatchery May 2022.
