These should be 4wks now. More fun than anything as the dorkings are being dna tested (perks of working in a vet lab).black ones I think are sex links (from a commercial hatchery but were hatched at school).

Both look like pullets for now.

How old are they? Looks like you have a few of each gender, but need age to confirm.

They are 8-10 weeks

That's a pullet. I am so sorry about the hawk attack, and good job saving her life!

Looks like a Buff Orphington.

My answers are in red next to the pictures. There are a couple I'm not sure on, and you might want to post pictures of them again in two or three weeks.

The white bird is definitely a cockerel. The other chick is young and I can't see much of it in that photo, I would lean toward female.

My Leghorn is a girl and looks just like that.

But that chicken is 2 months old. Way too much comb for a chicken that age to be a pullet. An adult mature hen is different.
