Sexing 5 Week Old Chicks

FlynnCahill said:

I wasn’t sure if it’s too early or not but thought I’d give it a shot.
Just 2 chicks who have just turned 5 weeks old. Both mixed breeds. White one is Rhode Island Red crossed with a white leghorn cross white Plymouth rock hen (confusing I know), the other one is a Rhode Island Red crossed with an unknown breed (black hen which we can’t put a finger on her breed)
I’ve attached LOTS of photos. Any help appreciated

A bit too young to tell. The combs seem small and pale, but the color pattern of the lighter one could indicate cockerel. Just have to wait another couple of weeks and it should be more clear.

They’re now just over 6 weeks old, so thought I’d update some more pics. (It’s the 2 older ones as before) the little frizzle chick is far too young I think, unless anyone knows?
