Are all our babies pullets?!

The "brahma" looks like it has a straight comb....if so, it's not a brahma. Brahmas have pea combs. Straight comb and feathered feet (as long as it's not bantam), make it more likely cochin or French marans.

Cheeko face markings remind me of golden laced wyandotte. Body marks don't fit the wyandotte. There are several other breeds that get that sort of facial marks, too. I think dark Cornish and barnevelders get similar faces? Dunno what the bodies look like.

they look to be 1-2 weeks old. 3 weeks and they start looking like little dinosaurs

That's good to know! We mustve gotten them younger than I thought. Can't wait for the dinosaur phase

I'm guessing 3 is a cockerel...but as other people have said it is really just 50/50 guesses at this point.

Cochin was actually my first guess when that one was smaller! I'll have to look up French Marans.

Cheeko was purchased as an amerecauna, so I'm hoping that's what Cheeko is!

Too young.. you can get just as accurate of a guess while they are still in the egg.. 50/50

Okay! I'll update this post as time goes on.

Thanks for your guess!

I'm not good at using the wing feather method. It takes me a little longer to start see sex differences. Tail development, leg size and how upright they hold themselves are my tells.
