These 6 chicks were hatched by 2 of my hens but the eggs came from a friends farm. They are barnyard mixes from an EE Roo, a Silkie Roo and a leghorn Roo and a bunch RIR, EE, Silkie and rock hens. Basically they are mutts!!
The obvious cockerel #1

Number 1 is a definite cockerel, as is #6. I also wonder about #5 .

Yes- #6 is questionable to me too!! No saddle or pointed feathers though-- would those be in yet? 5 wasn't on my radar - ill have to take another look tomorrow! Thanks for the help so far!!

They are far too young for saddle feathers, going on comb color for now.
