7 week old gender?

[kristinemarie]

I had a broody I couldn’t break (didn’t try hard enough, I should say), so a friend gave me a blue and brown egg from her flock of unknown breeds. She wasn’t even sure if they were fertile, but violá!
May be too early on the white chick but I have my suspicions on the red one. Questioning more on gender but would be welcome to guesses on what the mix is - I can post pics of the unknown parents if necessary, although, not the greatest and most of her flock was taken by a fox so those photos are all I have.

Not sure if the pics even loaded correctly, but thank you all!

White chicken is a pullet. Red chicken is a cockerel.

I agree, especially on the red one! Sweet birds! But, on the white youngster, that’s a lot of red for that age!

Red is definitely a cockerel. The silver/white is probably a pullet, but not definitely. Both have 5 toes, but no beards or crests, and clean legs. So I think they are very mixed breeds probably with Silkie or Faverolles somewhere back in the gene pool to provide for the extra toes.

Could you post pictures of the parents? The red is a cockerel, the white is most likely a pullet.

I’m thinking the same, but the white one turned a little red just in this past week so now I’m concerned!

Agreed!

Sure can!

The roo circled is the dad, she thinks...no telling who mama is. The one that looks like a Welsummer with the greenish legs is who popped out the blue eggs.

Which chick hatched out of the blue egg? Why does she think the white roo is the dad? Does the white roo have extra toes?

red is cockerel, white may be pullet - on the fence about this one.
