Can anyone maybe tell me the breed, estimated age or gender of these baby chickens? They came from TSC but we didn’t buy them. I suspect they are too young to tell the gender and honestly not sure the pictures will be helpful for any of the information but I thought I would ask.
Thank you for your help.

Age: more than 1 week, less than 4 weeks.

The one with brown & white is probably a Red Sexlink Pullet.
With Sexlinks, the males and females are different colors, so you can tell the gender from the very beginning.
Red Sexlinks are commonly sold with a variety of names: Gold Comet, Red Star, ISA Brown, Red Sexlink, Gold Sexlink, Brown Sexlink, Hyline Brown, Bovan Brown, and so forth. The hens are good egg layers. The hens grow feathers in red and white, which is not a common combination among other chicken breeds, so they are usually pretty easy to recognize.

For the white chick, I am not sure of the breed or gender. There are many kinds of white chickens, and they tend to look much alike at that stage. White Leghorn and White Rock are possibilities. The gender will probably become obvious within the next month or two. The breed might be obvious by then, although there are some breeds that need to grow up all the way before you can really be sure.
