Breed and gender?

[ChickenLaura]

That is good news! I don't really care what kind of chickens they are but good to know!

Due to the angle of the pics, they look like pullets. Maybe try and get some comb and wattle shots. I'm bad with breeds but number 1 maybe is a red sex link and number 5 maybe an EE?

Here are some close ups... sorry they are a little out of focus chickens don't like to hold still!!

That is not to say that I don't care... so much as I am not too upset that they are not what they were sold to be I like them all the same! and appreciate all your help!

I would agree with the first response: #1 appears to be a Sex-Link Pullet and #3 appears to be a RIR Pullet. None are screaming (or should I saw crowing) that of Roo.

Agreed - look like sex link pullets to me - they're superstar layers!

#2 and 5 could be black sexlinks, if there are no foot feathers (which #5 appeared to have in first photo?)...hard to tell in close ups...also #5 has more comb with redness than I would expect of a black sexlink (which should be a pullet if it is a black sexlink) but also more lacing in the feathers...but could just be immature feathers.

Color types are almost right for Black Sexlinks...body is a bit more angular though...but hey, they are hatchery birds so they vary a lot.

I recommend you assume all are pullets as of the moment, but watch and wait for better feather and comb development....#5 is iffy as to gender and breed for me.

Hello again! So these chicks are 7 moths old now! I am very pleased to say they are all quite lovely and all hens! I was concerned several months ago that "Violet" Chicken # 2 in the photos was a rooster lo and behold she is the first to lay eggs! Just started this week and has already laid 4! I believe the others aren't far behind! My girls have grown so fast and are quite lovely now! I will post pics of them soon! Here is Violet's1st beautiful egg! My daughter Grace is a very proud chicken mama!
