These chicks are 4 weeks old this weekend.
Curious if anyone can hazard a guess, they are EE's and Marvelous mixes, daddy definitely carries the blue genes (the EE roo is daddy to them all), so, not sure what color eggs the mixes will lay. Hoping for an olive layer, but, I think the Australorp x baby is a boy.

mom is a Silver Laced Wyandotte, I'm hoping it would be a girl, but, sadly, I think this is a boy.

bumping, because I'm curious about possible sex and if anyone has a guess on what their end color may look like.
 
some of them really puff up and fly at each other too, hoping that doesn't mean roo all the time.

I am hoping at least half are she's. I want to keep the girls.

what age can they go outside? weather permitting.
and what age can they go with out heat.
