breed and gender

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

If they have leg mites, the scales on their feet will look like they're lifted up. How much lift depends on how bad the infestation is. Get vaseline and smear it really thick on all their legs. Its important to put it on really thick, you want to kill the mites. I would do this every couple days for 2 weeks just to make sure you killed them. I would also give them a big dust bathing box with DE in it. That way if they have body mites, they can treat themsves. A dust bath is very important for a chickens health.

1-6 look like silkie mixes
5 looks like a roo (not positive though) I don't recognize the breed
6 looks like a black star

are the silkies considered partridge silkies?

I would say your Silkies are pet quality partridges (they don't look like mixes to me). They all look like pullets to me. I'm not sure what the non-Silkie birds are, other than pretty

i was wondering about #4 being a roo

 

[sevenbabychicks]

They all look like pullets to me (but I don't know much about silkies, so...). The dark one looks like an EE with a missing beard; the last one looks like a sex link.
