The lighter Marans may be a splash.
Hi lovely people. I'm new to having baby chicks and just so eager to figure out if they're boys or girls.
I requested a mixed bunch of:
- gold laced Wyandottes
- silver DL barnevelder
- Australorps
- Orpingtons
- marans
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is what (some are getting obvious, some not so much) and take a guess at whether they are boys or girls.
I have tried to make a guess based, but interested to see what others think. Thank you

Another gold laced Wyandotte
You have a lovely little flock. There is no real way to tell the sex at that age. Here is a tip often times the female chicks tend to get their tail bud before the males do. Good luck and have fun with your flock...
Number 1 isn’t an SLW. I’m unsure of the comb but the body is brownish and the lacing on the wings resembles the silver double laced barnevelder which was mentioned as one of the possible breeds. 6 in my opinion is unlikely a blue andalusian because they usually have a lighter chest blue australorp seems more likely.
How exciting. Thank you so much
Thank you. I thought that would be the case, but I'm so impatient
