Gender help

[TheShamily]

Hi all, new-ish to chickens, first time raising day old chicks. I have 8 chicks, all hatched on 9/16, so just over 5 weeks old. 2 black copper marans, 3 silver laced wyandottes, 3 buff orpingtons. All 3 of the BO were slow to feather, 1 I am about positive is a roo. Of the SLW, one was very slow to feather, and they are giving me the most questions of gender. The marans both feathered quickly and look like pullets in my opinion. And help would be great!

They are due to move out of the brooder and into the coop next week! Man they grow fast.

SLW 1 and Buff 2 are the only ones really jumping out at me. Wyandottes tend to pink up early, so don't give up hope just yet.

Definitely check back in in a couple weeks. We like to see how they progress and turn out!

For the record, I don't think the pic of BO 1 is the roo...I meant I think one of them is a roo (#2)

Thanks! That is what I was thinking. I have ambitions overall to keep one roo...may the best man win LOL
