New to integrating new chicks with my hens
Hi there! I would integrate the 4 & 8 week chicks together first and let them grow until they are approximately the same size as your yearlings. That would take them to almost point of lay. I suggest this for 2 reasons. First, chicks need higher protein levels in their feed than your hens...- GNRMorgans

That's looking roo-ish to me. But take a bit more time...the EE's are tough.- GNRMorgans

To me that blue looks a lot like my blue Ameraucana. It also has slate coloured legs with is an Ameraucana trait. Orpingtons have white legs. With the Ameraucana's or EE's, a single row of peas is a pullet, while 3 rows is a cockerel. They take longer to be sure. If you can post a better...- GNRMorgans

The pullet's comb will also get red as they get closer to lay...in fact, that's one of the characteristics of a pullet ready to lay a first egg. However, as chicks - a pullet's comb should stay pale..yellowish?...not red/pink. The young roosters will have combs that go red a LOT faster. Then...- GNRMorgans

I'm leaning towards tenley being a roo - and nugget a pullet. Tenley's comb has 3 rows and is pinker. Nugget has one row, is narrower and isn't as pink..- GNRMorgans

My experience with the Marans breed is that the pullets feather out faster...so by 2 weeks, the ones without tail feathers and lots of down still - I would lean towards roos. Also, the boys in this breed rapidly develop their comb. Pronounced comb is going to mean roo. Best of luck with your...- GNRMorgans

Nice looking chick! Is it an Ancona or Exchequer leghorn? Those breeds develop more comb even as hens than others - so, if that is the breed, I might lean towards it being a hen. If it's a mottled orpington...then with that comb, I would say roo...- GNRMorgans

I'm thinking a cockerel due to the amount of comb - but it's early days yet...if that comb starts getting pink - then it's a roo, imo.- GNRMorgans
