What breed are these?/ What gender do you think these are?

[brairgirl]

Well this post has 12 chicks and 1 rooster that I would like to know the breed of, or at least guesses of the breed.

2 are what gender do you think they are? (has pictures of parents just 'cause ) I will put this in a second post.




What Breed?



Flinn: We got him a few weeks ago. He has a few feathers on each leg. He probably is mixed but what would be in that mix? He has some brown tinted feathers on his wings and legs. He also has a Pea comb.





Chicks!
All of these chicks were bought at a feed store. We gave them to a hen with only two chicks and she takes care of them all!

Chesnut: 3 weeks old

Obsidian: Black sex link, I hope she keeps the red! 4 weeks

Tiger: 3 weeks

Walnut: Polish, suspected to be Gold Laced, 3 week

Slate: 3 weeks


Birch: 3 weeks

Skunk: Polish, 3 weeks

Snow: Polish, Supsected to be Silver Laced- 3 weeks

Gooseberry: Polish, Suspected to be Silver Laced as well- 3 weeks

Peanut: He has some russet colored fluff on his face as well. But he wouldn't turn around!- 3 weeks


Plum: Had to take so many pictures of her to get a good look at her coloring... She wouldn't hold still! 3 weeks







Hawk: Cute little buff type coloring! 3 weeks

Can you tell gender at 4ish weeks?

Here is Fluff's Parents

One of these Buff Orpington Roos fathered him


Heres his White Leghorn mother trying her hand at being broody... It didn't last long!


Fluff! - He is about 4 1/2 weeks old



His/Her cute little face

Some of the peach feathers

Peach tinted feathers on his/her back. You can see the ones on the side of his chest...,. Sort of.

The Peach colored feathers on the side of his chest again

His/Her cute face again!

And Again!

And Again!


Easter's Parents!

His/Her dad: again one of the Buff Roosters


His mother is a Sex link Red, They all pretty much look like this:


Easter!









I would like to know if they can be sexed by looks at 4 1/2 weeks?


I can thank a wonderful Barred Rock hen for hatching these two she is a devoted mother.

They are getting so big and so cute <3

I could be a week off on Fluff, Easter and Obsidian's ages.. But they are the same age, if a couple days off.

My guess on your roo would be a light brahama mix. Because of the feathering on his legs and the colombian color pattern

I was thinking that but I thought the random black dots in the white were weird..

I agree. His feathering is off because he's a mix.

Oh, and the 3 week olds are adorable! Too young to sex.

The 4.5 week olds are all roos... those combs are WAY too big and red for their age.

well if your cockerel mated with either of the hens you would have a new chick breed. however they wouldnt be sexed at that age. it is around minimum 21 weeks old.

I feel so smart

I didn't see the mix part of that !

Well I am actually hoping Fluff is a Rooster. I hope Easter is a hen but either way

I will call Fluff a Peach Orpinghorn....

Green legs and pea combs are good signs for americauna.... not all americanas have a fluffy face. Esp if they are 1/2 americauna which would make them easter eggers.... very hard to sex at such an early age
