All four possible cockrels

[MandaRae]

These 4 barred Rock Mixes 5 weeks old. I suspect cockrels. Can I get other opinions?

That’s what I’m thinking so far... are these your only chicks? Sorry another that and luck.
But I’d wait until they’re a bit older (8+ weeks is preferable) but... barred rock cockerels are usually lighter in color... but since they are mixes...

What are they mixed with? It would be much easier to say so if the mom was the barred rock because they would be easily sex linked, if the dad wasn't barred. To me they look cockerel, but sexing is VERY new to me and im usually wrong when people ask and i guess silently, lol.

The combs are suspicious for 5 week olds. Repost pics in a couple if weeks, but it's very possible that you have 4 cockerels.

Sure looks like 4 cockerels.. sorry to see it
Come back in a couple of weeks so we can tell you for sure

It looks possible. I wouldn’t say for sure yet. A few of my BR hens had some pretty early comb growth. I do think the one in t be last pic is a cockerel though.

Male mixes aren’t usually lighter colored though there may be exceptions I don’t know about.

Okay so 2 of these are pretty much jerks and peck your hand as soon as you put your had in the pen

The Hen was full Breed Barred Plymouth Rock

This is the Rooster
He is Buff Orpington x Brahma

I hatched these April 3rd along with multiple others. All the chicks are very cute. I was hoping to sell them off but most don't want Roosters so I'm hoping to have more Hens than Roos as I'm sure everyone does

Uh oh. I’m not sure about the Brahma genes but I know that buff Orpington x BR hen are supposed to be sex-linked. Which would mean these are cockerels. What type of Brahma was it?
