These are a mix between americana and RIR. They are 7 weeks old. I'm am sure that one is a roo since I've heard some really sad sounding crows. I'm thinking there might be 4 hens and 2 roos. I'm hoping for 5 hens 1 roo LOL. Thanks for taking time to help.DSC00825.JPG

I see at least 3 roosters:  the white and black one, the white and black one with tracer of red, and the red one in the last picture.

I think that Pic 1,2, and 4 are hens.  3,5,6 are roosters.  2 and 3 look like different birds, and so do 5 and 6, right???

Highland Hills Cackleberries home of LF Black/Blue/Splash Ameraucana, Wheaten/Blue Wheaten/Splash Wheaten Ameraucana, Silver Laced Wyandottes, and Mottled Bantam Cochins.  We have an egg flock that consists of English Orpingtons, Black Australorps, Naked Necks, Sumatras, Dark Brahma, EE, Marans, LF Cochin, and Blue Andalusian.  I wouldn't mind some Coronation Sussex, Mottled Java, Appenzeller...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to look. I was really really hoping one of the white ones was a hen. Looking forward to seeing blue or green eggs. oh well guess we"ll try again next year. The runt of the bunch is my favorite and I'm glad everyone thinks she's a hen.

The first light brahma mix just might be a pullet. It has a big comb, but pink. My pure bred LB had a red comb at 4 weeks and is now laying eggs at 4 months(early for brahma).

Beautiful mixes! I love the colors. I hope you do get your white female. The second white looks like a male.

I hatched some mixes a week and two days ago. I'm dying to find out what their sexes are, but mixes are difficult to sex.
