Are the chicks all the same size as the Dominique? Bigger, or even smaller chicks, can be pretty scary to a lone chick. If they are the same size, (it may seem mean) you can put the chick with the other chicks for a day and night, and it will probably learn that they are not there to scare it...
100% a black silkie mix, however I have no idea what the mix could be because his feathering is basically all silkie. I'm pretty bad with silkie genders, but Big John looks to be a little more towards the cockerel side. But I have no idea haha
This one looks like a pullet. If any have a moticibly larger comb, or even a small red comb will be a cockerel. Also, cockerels tend to be more confident then pullets, and have a taller stance with pointed tail feathers.
Because of the curved and pointy tail feathers. Also Easter Egger cockerels tend to develope red on the shoulders. Pulleys normally don't have that red mixed in with the grey. And it's comb is almost bigger than the red cockerel.
Is that a Cochin or Brahma? Kinda hard to tell from stance, but if it's a Cochin, would prob be pullet. Because of pea comb development, it could be boy if it's a Brahma. But again, hard to tell because of angle. Very cute and pretty chick though!
