Baby Chicks!!

We just bought 25 baby chicks yesterday, restarting our flock after a three year break. (Believe me it was a well needed break..)
Anyways, here we have the adorable stars!!

Satoko -- Supposedly a Bantam.


_______ (Help naming?) She's a White Brahma


Sugar and Lil Peeps --- Rhode Island Red.


Penguin --- I forgot what she was.


They're all healthy, minus the one that died last night..

It looks to be a female, Just wait another week and it'll be really obvious.. She's really quite adorable!
Congrats on the healthy chick

How can you tell? I have had chickens for 5 years now and can't tell. But now that we are getting fertile eggs from our hens, we will need to know. Except for this new chick, all of our chicks we have gotten from southern states. Her daddy was supposed to be a she, lol. He kept getting bigger so I posted pics here and said, is this a boy? Because he didn't crow till he turned one. So he is the only rooster we have for 13 hens. We also have 12 more chicks that are 5 or so weeks old. Who knnow for sure if all the pullets are all female. We will see. That is why I am trying to find a way to tell if they are male or femaie. If you can explain how, I would appreciate it!! Thanks and shalom.

The comb seems to be more pronounced on male roosters when they are younger and the females are just the opposite.. Unless they are the odd ones out, this method has proved 90% effective for my previous flocks.
