I think the first picture is a boy. Don't know about the second, but looks more like a girl.

I agree those are some rugby player thighs

 

A close up of the head would be great if you could get one

[Tara.F]

Ooh! I know!

 

I think you have a boy there!

i have three white sussex chicks and they are four and a half weeks old.

The girls apparently feather up quicker....two of ours were fully feathered by four weeks, one remains in the 'scruffy' stage

Also, the girls tail feathers are predominantly white, while the boys tails are mainly grey and black.

Finally, the boys wing tips are very dark when folded, the girls (who also have dark wing tips) cover them with white feathers when folded.

 

At four and a half weeks the girls combs are actually slightly larger than the boys who develop later.

 

As you can tell....I've been putting a lot of research into this!

I'm guessing its a boy.

[Lewis]

From the second picture I'd say its a boy

[The Dogmother]

Me too.

[teri]

boy! he has footballers legs

[The Dogmother]

In Banbury, lots of the 'young ladies' have legs like those; we refer to them as 'Cow Kicker Legs' i.e. you could kick a cow to death with legs like those
