Well, two barnyard mutts and a light brahma. Nearly feathered up, will follow up in 2 weeks! I think I've got one hen and two roos, as is my luck. Holding them like overstuffed chipotle burritos was the only why I could get clear pics.
First is Chernoble Elephant Foot (Cheryl) - I think hen! She's got the daintiest feets. Very polite. Does not knock over the water. Believes in aliens. Is the first to say good morning.
Next is Cucumber - Roo? Drama queen. Him and Cheryl looked exactly the same for their first week. The chattiest. Already iridescent and has the longest tail. Seems like he'd grow up to be a cop.
Last is the light brahma, Serafina. I'm really hoping hen but I'm thinking roo; I can't have roosters so I was hoping chickenzilla would intimidate the local cats and raccoons. The bossiest, stomps his mop feet in the water 9 times a day. Jumps on the other two. Does not like being held like hamburger.
Everyone who ends up guessing right gets a crisp high five and a plaque that will inevitably get lost in the mail.

I love black birds but have had 0 luck with them so far! No idea what the breed is but after some googling it's very possible Cucumber is some kind of maran mix, the whole clutch looked like marans
