English Chocolate Orpingtons - What gender? 5 wks old

[Pcuda]

I've got 4 English Chocolate Orpingtons - the way 2 of them act I can kind of already tell they may be cockerels but I'm new to this so I'm looking for help! It may be too early to tell.

1 and 2 are cockerels. 3 could go either way, although suspicious. 4 is a pullet thus far.

Exactly my thought on each! thanks.

You're right at the verge of being able to sex them. Give them a week or two and it'll be super obvious. I see two cockerels and two pullets

I think the only female is #4

I think the only female is #4

Agreed, but update in a few weeks.

I think the only female is #4

Agreed, but like Rhodebar said - they're right at that age where things could quickly change. Update us here jn 2 more weeks with new pics.

Chicks 1 and 2 are definitely cockerels. Chick 3 could go either way, but I lean cockerel. I believe chick 4 is a pullet.

Just because I'm feel like conniving, what would you all guess that the genders of my English Orps is at the exact age (4 weeks and 3 days-five weeks old in pics)? They have all grown now so genders are confirmed but I think it will help exhibit how you really can't accurately sex them at this age, only if a cockerel is especially visible

Both cockerels! Just a fun guess!
