I have 7 chicks that hatched between. 6 and 7 weeks ago. I have been trying to get an good photo of each individually to try to get everyone's help in determining gender but after multiple attempts I have given up.
I thought I would try a different approach. Provide a series of photos and ask if anyone sees any little roos. These are mixed breed.
Please let me know if you spot any males.

You folks are amazing. 13 of my May chicks were Barred Rocks and I find those easy to identify. These however are mixed. I am pretty certain that the father has Rock in his lineage, but I doubt that the mother does. His flock consisted of only 3 hens and each completely different breed or mix and color (a brown, a gray and a black).
I find it amazing how much the chicks look like rocks. The father has other colors, including green feathers in his tail, but the chicks seem not to have them.
Because, I know these are mixed, I am avoiding using what I know about Rocks and their shading for gender identification.
I am still much too new to the world of chickens to try to use feathers and such for this purpose.
If I have 5 females and only 2 males that would be great. (I hatched 10 eggs this spring and only got 1 girl and 9 boys)
