Anyone want to play the hen or roo game?

Any guesses on my chicks? Three weeks old. We have 7. Crossing my fingers for 4-5 pullets. Any ideas from experienced chicken keepers?

Looks like five cockerels and two pullets, those two being the ones with pale pink combs.

1 and 3, possibly 7 looking like pullets. The rest look like Cockerels.

Which ones seem pinkest to you? They all seem really yellow/orange in person to us except the first one.

We would be thrilled if 1 and 3 are girls. We have already gotten attached to them due to their unique coloring in the bunch.

Re-examining the photos, it appears just the first one is a pullet.

Oh! Oops! I meant to say 1 and 4! Sorry for heating you hopes up, 1 definitely, 3 looks like a boy.
Heres a screen shot-

Red circled I think are girls, blue circle, is less likely. 4 may even be male as well, but the comb seems like there is a chance to is female to me.

Wouldn’t it just be my luck to hatch 7 with 6 boys. We had a hen go broody. We have no rooster so got her some eggs to try to add to our hens that way. I sure hope I don’t have to rehome 6 roosters.

Well, if only a few girls, maybe at least #1.

Is there a chance you can make a bachelor pad for them? I have a friend who ended up with 5 roosters, she rehired 1, but the rest were very happy in there bachelor pad!
