Hello all,

I am new to the chicken scene and have hatched a previous clutch (unfortunately lost due to the spread of Marek's from an introduced set of chicks). I am currently on a second set I have hatched and they are currently 2 months old as of 18th. They are a backyard mix, so I am unsure of the exact breeds, but my wife and I suspect we have 4 (or more) roos. I have taken pictures of all our chicks and will upload better pictures as I get them. Please let me know your thoughts on breed/gender. There are a total of 9, we think we have a frizzle pullet, 1 Rhode island red roo, 2 black maran roos, 2 black maran pullets, 1 cochin roo, 1 lavender orpington pullet, 1 turken pullet. We are very unsure as we are new to the scene, any advise/thoughts would be helpful, thank you!

Hello all,

We need some more photos. And what were all the breeds that were in the flock you got the eggs from?
 
Sorry my original post did only load one photo but here's the full amount of photos. Also the list of possible breeds the seller gave me was:
Orpingtons, copper marans, australorp, easter eggers, silkies, Wyandotte (blue and red laced), Sussex, Dominique, polish, and many others

Any with larger red combs will be males at this stage. The blue and gold one with the crest is a male. The two, or maybe three (it's hard to tell who is who) in the last five pictures are males as well.

The black one in the first two pictures, the naked neck, and the frizzle are females.
Thank you JedJackson. One last look of the last 3 chicks, we suspect these 3 were roos. And just wanted to be sure, took some better photos to help, thank you!
