Help me sex my chicks please!!

[yttac16]

Hi all! Is it too early to try and sex my chicks? I'll list breed and ages below. Most are almost 6 weeks and one a few days older

I believe both the Ameraucanas are cockerels unsure about the rest. Interested to see what others think

1. Ameraucana, 5.5 weeks
2. Ameraucana, 5.5 weeks
3. Frizzle x easter egger, 6 weeks
4. Speckled Sussex, 5.5 weeks
5. Oliver egger, 5.5 weeks
6. Oliver egger, 5.5 weeks
7. Speckled Sussex, 5.5 weeks

Bump in hopes someone might have a look

Way to early to determine confidently, but I think you have a couple that could go Cockerel at the moment, maybe another 4-5 weeks and we'll be able to give you a better answer. The ones you labeled SS, I've never had any that started off like those, I'm not convinced those are actually SS. Love the Frizzle by the way!

It is early, but 1 and 2 are cockerels, in my opinion. It will take more time for the others.

I agree with Jed. 1 and 2 are definitely boys. 7 might be a boy too.

The others arent red in the face yet, so they could be girls or just slower at developing.

Agreed. OP, also due to your location in Australia I believe you have Araucanas rather than Ameraucanas. I saw a wheaten-based Speckled Sussex chick (in the US we have brown-based) and "Ameraucana" (a breed pretty exclusive to the US) in the same pen and figured something was up!

I am thinking this: #1 Male, #2 Male, #3,#4,#5,#6,#7 are all females. Hope I am wrong on the first two if you were hoping for hens.

I agree.

We have both Araucanas and Ameraucanas here in Australia.

I concure that 1 and 2 look likely to be cockerels.
