Thanks everyone for you help! We got a couple more to ID, but we’re almost there!

here are the others that are up in the air. A couple of these we thought were the same, as they’ve grown, they’re definitely not.

6 week old #1: we didn’t get a picture of her as a newborn chick (hopefully a pullet). Any idea on breed and is this a pullet? It has an extra thumb toe.

6 week old pullet #2. I think we missed her as a newborn chick in the original post too:

For #1, are silver phoenix or silver dorking a possibility in the assortment?

Silver Dorking female.

Definitely female, because of the salmon-colored breast. A male would have a black breast.


6 week old pullet #2. I think we missed her as a newborn chick in the original post too:
Maybe Egyptian Fayoumi

Edit to add: chick #10 in the original post looks like a Fayoumi, so that may be a chick photo of this bird.

6 week old pullet #3. Think this is the same as newborn chick #6 in original post:
Maybe a Brown Leghorn. I think I see a single comb, but it's hard to be sure in those photos.

I feel like that's not quite right, but I'm currently having trouble thinking of other likely possibilities.

6 week old #4. We think a hen

I think Gold Pencilled Hamburg (because it appears to have a rose comb.)

6week old #5. Same breed at 4. Is this a roo?
Different comb type, so probably different breed.

Either Campine (single comb) or Buttercup (buttercup comb)

https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/buttercups.html

I do not think any of them look like males at this time. It's a bit early to be sure, but many males are very obvious by this age. And you did order females.
