Sex of my chicks

[Stpierrefamilyfarm]

Here are my 10 week old chicks. I know you can’t always determine sex already or from pictures but I’d like about 6 laying hens and will replace whatever Roos I currently have with more chicks. Thanks for your help! Bonus for breeds though I’m sure most are silkie/barred rock/sex links..

 

[Party-chick]

I don't know.

The silkie and silkie mixes I can't sex, but they are showing no obvious signs of being male. You have no BRs that I can see. You've got one mix breed cockerel (the splash with leakage), and if the red bird is a pure Red Sex Link/ISA brown, she's a pullet

Both birds in your first picture are males.

For the others we would need close up pictures from their heads and bodies, preferably the entire back from head to tail taken from above.

 

[SilverBirds]

Where did you get them? I'm going to say the first two are cockerels.

I disagree.

 

[LaFleche]

I disagree.

Zoom in and you will be able to see pointy saddle feathers coming in.

Also, at 10 weeks old pullets would not have such big and red combs and wattles.

The first two are males. For sure. Zero doubts at all.

 

[LaFleche]

that's a lie. I had a hen who had a comb twice as big as my rooster at week ten.

This might be because of their different breeds.

But as a side note: for someone who is new to keeping chickens (as you have stated yourself earlier in your introduction) you have quite the nerve to claim another persons opinion to be a lie.
This is not the way we communicate here on BYC where we try to be respectful and friendly.

I will be respectful. But that was quite some time ago when I posted that thread. Also during those time I have also continued to get chicks. I examine them everyday and adore them so I know their postures very will and I have chickens a variety of breeds. I also noticed you had changed your response when you were laughing at me. But I guess I was getting quick to defend myself. But then again only time well tell who is right. It also is technically a lie since it doesn't apply to all breeds or all chickens. Anyway, I do apologize.
