This is our first time raising chicks. A friend of a friend gave my children a random selection of eggs so they could have a go at hatching and raising the chicks. We ended up with three, and they are around 8 1/2 weeks old now. I am not sure of the breeds.
I've been lurking around a lot to get tips on identifying the gender of our chickens, and want to see how close I am with my guesses.
I suspect we have at least two roosters, the brown one I am certain about as he started crowing this week. Unfortunately I suspect the black one is a rooster too?
This one I am not sure about but I am hoping a hen?
This is another shot of the two I am just guessing about.
Thanks for your help
