Okay, that's good to know! We've had the older ones for 2 weeks, but they were already feathered when we got them. The younger ones we've had for about 1/2 a week. We didn't really get any newly hatched chicks.
I'd love to know your gut guesses!

Honestly, buying straight run when you can only have hens is super risky. I’ve done a few hatches of eggs, the first three had WAY more males than females, and luckily this last one I think is 3 out of 4 females.Hey everyone!
So, we are raising some chicks for a friend and keeping 4 for ourselves. We can only have hens within city limits, so we'd like to make sure we have all hens before delivering our friend her flock in August.
I'm going to post a bunch of photos of each chick we currently want to keep and what we know about them from time of purchase. If you all could help us determine breed and sex we'd so appreciate it!
I'm aware they're still young and you just never know, but if we can be at least almost certain they're all hens by mid August I'd feel confident in keeping them. I'll update photos weekly.TIA!
So, we have some that are for sure pullets. We are raising a large flock of chicks for a friend. She has acres and acres to free range a bunch of chickens, and we can pick and keep whichever ones we want, and if they end up being roosters- she will just trade us for a hen.

Oh, okay!
Pure guess but in my experience yellow EE babies with a not clear/defined triangle shape in their head equals male. Right Nutty?
