Hi what colour do you think my 8 chicks will be as adults? All bantams but don’t know any more about breed. Thanks!

Hi Any tips on sexing day old chicks (don’t know if it is even possible). Just curiosity rather than anything else 😊 Here are a few pics of them and my goodness aren’t they sweet (also any ideas on what colour these will be as adults?) - I had to get some fertile eggs for my broody chicken as...
