Hello, I've recently just got my first "new" hens from a seller from the internet and I was wondering if it was possible to age/sex/breed my four birds. I've got two Silkies, one white and one black, A pekin cross and a White Leghorn.

I'm sure they are all hens, he said the white Silkie is about a year with the rest being under six month. I'm doubtful the pekin is crossed with one thing, it's most likely a bit of everything.

Sorry in advance for the crap photos, couldn't really see screen for the sun. Oh and are deformed toes normal? The leghorn has a really bent toe which looks broken but isn't causing her visible pain and she's getting about fine.

Thanks.

All look to be pullets.
The breeds are correct. Last bird looks like a Silkie/Cochin.
Age looks about 12 -16 weeks.
X2.

Some chicks are hatched with bent toes due to genetics, and others develop it when affected by vitamin deficiency. :) I'm sure it's perfectly fine.
