These are 3 week old BCMs, can you tell the gender with these? I think I have 3 roos and 2 hens.
1. mossy roo?

Here are my babies from a mixed pen. I know the one is a Polish, 2 are Maran/Welsummer mix, 3 are EE mixes (2 blue eggs, 1 green) and 2 are barnyard mixes. Seems like all the roos were either a partridge colored EE, gorgeous blue/black Ameracauna or a black polish. Just curious for guesses what they might look like later on. Just for fun.

4. Polish mix

8. The lone grey chick. Came from a regular brown egg.

Anyone have chicks look like these? What did they grow up to look like?
 
I'd say Roo, pullet, Roo on the BCM's.



I think the polish mix is a boy from the thick legs. (but I don't have polish, so my opinion might not be worth much - plus they can be tricky to sex)

#5 looks like it has a rose comb? If so, it's probably a gold laced wyandotte.
#6 could be a black sex link
#7 I would guess EE/BCM mix.
