Chirping
Got 3 chicks from breeder two days ago. Guy claimed they are barred rocks but they don't look like barred rock chicks to me. He also said they are 4 weeks old, but they look closer to 2 weeks because they are quite small and only their wings have feathered out. He pulled them from a big brooder with 100s of chicks of all colors so I don't doubt they are something else. No matter what they turn out to be, I'll be quite happy as long as they're not roosters!
Chick #1 - This one has barely any wing feathers yet, but is the tallest. Almost completely dark grey, with only a little white on its butt. The red is from the heat lamp reflecting.

Chick #2 - This one has a couple barred wing feathers, but most are black, white stripes around the eyes, and a white throat and belly.

Chick #3 - This one is like chick #2 except the wing feathers have brown and black barring, almost brindle. And more pronounced white stripes by the eyes.

If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it! Trying to figure out breed, age, and sex! (I know, its a tall order!) Thank you!
