Would love any guesses as to breeds? Was given 6 hatching eggs from local farm - no clue what they could be! Only 3 were hatched by my Buff Orp but are doing well. 2 have much more developed wing structures than the third which is smaller (could it be a boy?).

1. This one is more brown/black patterns
2. More dark grey/black
3. Just very grey and yellow (although yellow fading) wings seem so much smaller than the other 2 (although egg was much smaller!)

Any one want to hazard a guess :) can you even tell at 2 weeks if boy or girls?

Thanks JedJackson, I did wonder if just too early to predict markings etc, this is my first hatching but have had chickens for 5 years - decided to give in and let our permanently broody Buff Orp hatch some out :)
Is it an old Wives tale do you think about size of wings for predicting sex of chicks?
