Hey y'all! My babies are now 3 weeks old and I need help figuring out their genders and maybe breeds too. I bought a broody hen and 10 eggs from a backyard farmer who didn't need anymore chicks. 7 of 10 eggs hatched and these are them.

This one came out of a blue egg. I've named her White Tip, like the shark because of the feathers on her wings.

This one I'm thinking is a cockerel. I saw him play fighting with another one of the chicks

And this is the one he was fighting with.

I love this one! I think I'm going to name it Robin. Super cute!

This one loves to be held and get attention!

This one also came out of a blue egg.

This one is by far the friendliest. She comes up to me as soon as I come outside

This is the whole flock together.

It is a little early to tell and some of the pictures are a little hard to see, but to me it looks like 2 girls and the rest boys. I don't know about breed, they look mixed.
 
It is a accurate time to guess,but play fighting means absolutely nothing,unless its super aggressive then maybe.

The first pic is a Easter Egger and looks like a pullet the pic below is a black sex link and is a girl,the one below I do not know breed,but to me,i'd say boy,the fourt picture looks like a girl,can I get a better pic of it's crown/comb?But,the fifth pic looks like a girl,the sixth pic possibly boy,the seventh pic (Your friendliest one),looks like a girl to me,and breed,I would say a mix.

To young to sex for sure, but the breeds look like:
Did the farmer say if they were mixed breed or not? Chances they are.
#1 looks like an mix but since it came out of a blue egg its mother was most likely an Easter Egger (if it is a pullet it has the possibility to lay blue/green eggs for you)
#2 looks like a possible BSL hybrid (which is a cross between a Barred Rock hen and a RIR rooster usually), if it is it is a pullet
#3 Possibly a Black Australorp (or a Black Australorp mix), I'm thinking pullet
#4 Another mix, again its mother was most likely an Easter Egger, but this one looks like a possible cockerel
#5 Can you get a better picture?


Remember they are to young to sex for sure, I would post again around 6 weeks or more to try and confirm there genders.
