Oh also they are to young to sex for sure but 4 looks like a possible cockerel. Is #4 smaller then the others?

#5 is actually the smallest of the bunch, with #4 being bigger and #3 being bigger still.

Overall size order is (3,2,1 are about the same)
5 < 4 < 3, 2,1

Leg coloring mostly, it is possible that they are all Barred Rock mixes or all Australorp mixes. Barred Rocks have yellow legs and Australorps have dark slated legs with white on the bottom of their feet. Jersey giants are leg Australorps but with yellow on the bottom of their feet.

I checked all of the black chicks (3, 4, 5) feet, and they are all yellow on the bottom.

Here are some more pictures of all of the chicks together in their temporary run (still finishing the coop)

But since they are mixes what ever they were mixed with may have had yellow bottoms as well. Whatever they are I hope you enjoy them!

We're really excited for them. My wife grew up having chickens, so she wanted our kids to have some.

Thanks for helping out. I'll grab more pics in a few weeks to keep the chain going.

Happy Friday!
 
Just remembered that I said I would update this thread. Just in case anyone finds these pics and wishes I had, haha.

Chick #3 Roo
Chick #4 Roo
Chick #5 Hen

We were able to get another pullet to keep the girl company from the SPCA so it's not all bad.
