8 mystery chicks

[niknchicks]

I have 8 chicks that hatched from eggs donated from a farm without them giving me any information whatsoever as to breed! 7 are bantams and 1 is rather large. They're 11 days old today. Any ideas as to breed? I guess it's too early for gender.

big'un first-

littler ones-











and last but not least, my poorly chick who doesn't look particularly poorly any more

(and yes, these pictures were taken while they wandered around on my desk at work lol)

big'un first- not sure of breed but so far looks male


Not sure of breed or gender with this one


looks male, mix breed possibly


Not sure of gender, maybe an Australorp mix



Male and brahma/mix?


I'd guess male Australorp mix for this one too

And this one I think is a male mixbreed

No idea about this one lol, been too long since I was dealing with chicks of my own, I used to be able to tell easily but these days... It's harder with all the differences caused by breeds and diets and environments too. I think this one might be female.

Best wishes with them.

They look like mixed breeds to me, did the farm just have all of their chickens running around together? They'll probably be excellent layers!
