Gender Identification - I need help!!!

Post by garylancelot » Tue Apr 04, 2017 9:09 pm

I need help identifying the gender of my chicks! I have three new babies that are now two months old and I still can't tell if they are male or female. What are the odds of having three females? I'm really hoping for at least one male because they are so pretty and sing songs. So far I haven't hear any of the males sing. Can anyone tell by these pictures what the genders might be? Do you see any males (other than the dad) in any of these pics? Thank you!!!

These are the three chicks with dad in the middle:

I agree with Dylan.
I am thinking 3 girls as well.

Usually with the boys, you would start seeing some colour on the cheek area by this age.

These babies look almost certainly female to me! By the time their beaks turn, other male indicators should be showing up, too.
2 black cheek zebras and 5 CFW zebras, one A&M pied coturnix hen, my darling cream/lavender coturnix roo, and his attitude.
