Two 11-week-old mixes. Guesses on sex please?

post #1 of 12

I gave a few barnyard mix eggs to a friend a few months ago. Two hatched- the darker one from a white (probably Leghorn) egg and the other (beardy) one from a blue egg smile Two possible daddies- Lakenvelder or Silver Spangled Hamburg.

They are now 11 weeks old, anyone willing to venture a guess for us?

Thank you all so much!

Was it a white leghorn or brown leghorn? I think WL is dominant white, meaning it'd take quite the genetic anomaly to get a mostly black chick. It's happened, but if you have other white egg layers I'd suspect them. It also doesn't appear to have a single comb, which you'd also expect from a WL offspring.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

There are a bunch of brown leghorns and one or two that are mixes. The only other white egg layers in the group are cochins and a few Polish.
