Hi,
My Australorp went broody and I let her hatch 4 eggs. Stupidly forgetting I might end up with roos. I have a Rhode Island Red rooster. We now have four sweet chicks five and a half weeks old. I was hoping that by some miracle they'd be girls but strongly suspect I have 3 roos on my hands.
Any thoughts on the below picts?
I am braced for the worst!
THey move fast so it's a challenge to get photos.
The first two are of the one that's a mix of RI Red and Dominique. (Barred rock?)

These next two are of RI Red and, again, either Barred Rock or Dominique

This one is Beatrice. I'm pretty sure she's a girl. Australorp and RI Red

This one is Cochin Partridge and RI Red.

Sorry the photos are so distant.And it looks like a number of them aren't showing up. Oh dear. I guess the mystery will continue!
Thanks!
