My chicks are almost 8 weeks old. I took some clearer individual pictures of the still questionable ones. Please help! I was told there was a possibility the eggs could be from Gold comets, orphingtons,plymouth rock,and Ameracauna.#5&6 Chickmunk My questionable breed and sex looked like a chipmunk as a fuzzy and came from a white egg. It is the smallest and lightest weight in my flock. Also the fastest runner and best flyer. My two black ones are undoubtedly the largest and heaviest but most docile birds.#1 Goliath is the largest overall with huge feet and black with greenish hued feathers that curl at the back of the neck. I am noticing some silverish colors on the breast feathers.#2 Finch is a little smaller than goliath. It's feathers have a bluish sheen and the wings have some white tipped feathers. Finch looked like a little wild bird as a fuzzy. Bird #3 is Big bird. Actually one of the smaller of the flock but with big attitude. It is a chestbumpin, toe peckin, food hoggin jerk most of the time.#4 Captain Red Beak is very friendly. It has a really nice feather pattern with lots of orange around the neck. This bird absolutely loves to be held and is very sweet. I have been told because of the color pattern and greenish legs it could be an ee and coloring is typical for a pullet. I am not sure what a typical ee pullet looks like. If there is a link for that I would love to have it. Please bear with me I am only on my second year and my original flock was 1 year old laying hens. As I have said before these eggs are from mystery sources and I have limited info. We have a home for our roos but need to figure out who's who. Here are my pictures 1,2,3,4 (above) and 5&6(chickmunk below)
