First brood; Breed and Gender questions

[JiveTofu]

Well, here they are!

I brought them home mid March and they've been doing great. Six chicks and a turk. The turkey was a freebie (and the hub took some convincing before we accepted) but he's such a personable little thing, we're both really glad we did.

I'm not sure which box some of the chicks came from though... I know the two barred rocks and the sussex for sure, but I'm unsure of the other three. Two are the same breed, I'm thinking Welsummer, but not sure. Little red, I have no idea. What do you guys think?

Also if anyone has gender thoughts on ANY of them (especially the turkey) I'd really appreciate it!


3/12 Day 1 chickies


3/12 Day 1 turkey: right after we got him home. Wasn't sure if he was going to make it.


3/12 Day 1 turkey: later; rested, cleaned up, and looking a little better


3/17 All together


3/25 In the outside coop JT and Welsummer? chick


3/26 In the run attached to the outside coop (breed Q about both in the foreground in front of the turk)


4/2 JTs growing like crazy! Such a sweet bird!


4/2 Smaller barred rock (plenty of nicknames, but no real name yet) also a friendly little thing. Gender thoughts?


3/26 JT


4/2 Little Red. No idea of the breed, but she's a favorite so I'd love to know. She's one of the only chicks that approaches me for pets. I'm saying she, but please correct me if you think otherwise.

The two brown ones do look like Welsummers and the red one is most like a Production Red or Hatchery quality RIR. The small Barred Rock is looking very suspicious but I would post a full body picture in a little bit to be sure.
