Hi! We have nine 5 week old chicks that were listed as "Americana" from TSC. They were straight run and we are now starting to really figure out the males and females but I want some confirmation help please! It's just fun trying to see if we wind up right or not. I got really good pictures of everyone today, I think. 1 bird is wet though cause she (I think she) jumped in the duck pool haha. Hopefully those pictures are still good. So... here we go! I will post what I think they are by their letter.

3 Hens, 6 Roosters.... H appears to also be a rooster. Now I am trying to decide which one to keep of the roosters. Not sure how feather gentics work. I LOVE the black and white one, but we have recessive white in our flock and does he have dominant white? I don't want an all white flock.... so... I also think H is turning into a beautiful, richly colored roo... I mean the older they get I could happily keep any of them. But I want a roo with a blue egg gene and I don't want an all white flock... who do I keep?! I have to decide this week so we can start looking for homes.
