I have a few chickens I'm not sure about. I'm watching feather growth, combs, coloring...but its difficult because most are mixes and I'm new at this.
Chick 1 "Peggy" BR/BO 7-8 weeks
Chick 2 "Buffy" (pure) BO 7-8 weeks
Chick 3 " Pebbles" BCM/Lav Orp (black split) 11-12 weeks
Chick 4 " Chicken Hawk" BCM/EE 11-12 weeks
I have two of the BCM/Lavs and two of the BCM/EEs. The last pics are of "Jagger" the other red one and "Mikan" the other black one.
The two reds have different comb sizes, second one's comb is darker and bigger, has darker legs, it's noticeably bigger and still no tail. The first red one has cheek puffs, the second is getting a beard.. So I'm trying to compare them and its hard because they have the same parents, eggs laid one day apart, hatched same day, same basic color, but they look just different enough I can't tell.
Last pic is reds side by side about 3 weeks ago ago.

Will need comb shots of the two black birds. Everyone else is a cockerel.

ETA: Chick 2 is not a BO.
 
Sorry, my memory card in my phone is acting up. These are the comb shots of the black ones. I'll have to take a new pic of the BO in the morning since my dang phone won't let me get to any recent pics. Unfortunately I'm already sure BO is a roo too. So many boys! I lose the genetic lotto with this lot. Lol I have 4 6 week old lavender orp/ ameraucana/leghorns I think 3 might be girls. I'll post pics and you guys tell me. Also 2 one week olds. I feather sexed them as female but I'm new so I probably got it backwards lol
Current tally = 12 chicks
5 def roos
7 hopefully hens
Next time I'm getting sex links!

Last pic is blurry, but they look like pullets.

You can only feather sex certain crosses. Wait until your 1 week old chicks are 6 weeks old and post pics here.
 
This is the Buff. Sure he's a boy. (8wks)
Last two are the one week and two week olds. The black one is a BO/BR hen so it is a sex link I believe. She has no white/yellow dot or smudge on her head at all. The other is a BO. It may be a mix too, not sure yet.

Do you have updated pictures of the first one? I’m not sure that he’s a BO/BR.
