Boy or girl?

[MamaJ1977]

I know it’s super early but I’d love some guesses just for the fun of it. I have four chicks, all almost 4 weeks. The black Orpington is so different seeming to me. Smaller in size/fluffiness, roosting on everything, skittish and it’s got a big comb, the others do not.

This is my first year with chickens so I’m obsessing. Thoughts? Thanks everyone!

sorry, but these are barred rock. Pullet!

 

[MamaJ1977]

Oh whoops! Barred rock?! I had no clue!

 

[ButtonquailGirl14]

sorry! where did you get them?

 

[MamaJ1977]

The local feed store. Hrmph!

 

[ButtonquailGirl14]

NEVER TRUST A FEED STORE!!!! unless you can tell the different breeds!

 

[MamaJ1977]

Aw crap! Okay so based on the chicks you see in my profile pic, what breeds do I have here? I feel like such an idiot!

do the white one have feathered legs? would need some closer pics... so sorry!

 

[MamaJ1977]

The white one has feathered legs as does the brown one on the far left. I’ll try to get more pics. Not the end of the world, I don’t know much about barred rocks. This is definitely a learning experience.
