Hello! We recently had 2 broody hens, and we decided to give each hen some fertile eggs. We had one hen in her own run because she was an "outcast" and we gave her 4 eggs. And another hen in with a flock of 4 got 2 eggs. All of the eggs hatched the exact same day, and they are now 8 weeks old. We are starting to see some changes in their looks, and are wondering if they are girls or boys.
The father of them all was a Cream Crested Legbar
Chick A, mother was a Light Brahma
Chick B mother was an Easter Egger or Ameraucana
Chick C mother was a Leghorn
Chick D mother was an Ameraucana
Chick E mother was an Easter Egger or Ameraucana
Chick F mother was a Blue Copper Maran
Pretty sure chicks A and F are roosters, chick A is very loud and doesn't want anything to do with people, chick F is very sweet but grew his feathers VERY slowly, he got his feathers last week. While all the others got their feathers by 4 weeks.
Just a fun picture of chick D
Thank you

We can't have roosters where we live. I need to get working finding them new homes.
