Hi all

Not the clearest pictures but would anyone like to try and guess what sex any of these chicks are?

Thanks

Hi Michael85 if you could tell us what breed and how old the chicks are that may help people advise you.   ;)

Unfortunately without knowing the breeding it can be very difficult to tell.  However... in my (limited) experience, most cockerels have combs which are starting to grow and go pink by nine weeks - so you might be extremely lucky ;)
