Newbie needs help with sexing chicks

That's a pretty tall order...they are clearly Silkie mixes with standard type birds as they all look to be getting regular feathers.

Hybrids come off with so many different colors that it can be very hard to tell the background, and nothing is leaping out like beards/muffs or other tell tale signs of distinct breeds.

I think you have Silkie/standard types.

I think I see a couple of roo's....several have significantly more comb development especially photo #6

Silkies and hybrids of Silkies can be hard to sex...comb development will be the best indicator.

this makes me so sad because he is the sweetest little guy and we can't have a roo. Our friends who have a ranch are going to take him so we can still see him.
