So I got these 4 chicks from tractor supply about 3 1/2 weeks ago and I think they are like 6 weeks old because they are almost fully feathered and in the excitement of getting them I didn't even look what kind they were, I believe that 3 are barred Plymouth rocks and the other might be a australorp but l'm not 100% sure. Also I don't think that they are all hens. The gray one is significantly bigger than the others but has a way smaller comb that is barely even there, this might just be because it is a diffrent breed but l'm not sure. The black and white ones all have characteristics of being hens and Roos so any help on sexing, identifying, aging, them would be greatly appreciated!

Also the black and white chicken in the first image is a little bit larger than the other black and white ones.

The first three are Barred Rocks, and the fourth one looks as if it may turn into a Blue Marans or Sapphire Gem. If the fourth has a pea comb, then it will be an Easter Egger.

I agree about the Barred Rocks. However, I don't think TSC carries Ameraucanas. Possibly an Americana (Easter Egger), but I don't know what those look like at that age. Maybe a Sapphire Gem...?

@Joshua0272 :welcome Cute babies!

Tractor Supply may think they have Ameraucanas, but they are definitely Easter Eggers.
