Can I say Hello Ladies? (I hope I can)

[Ma Noob]

Hiya, We recently got 8, 4 week old chicks that would now be approx 8-10 weeks old. Unfortunatly we have since lost two but the remaining are looking great. I am wondering what sex they are.

4 Im pretty sure are ladies but im not sure on the other two. Their combs have developed a bit earlier than the other but having done much more in the last week or so. Also one has two random longer curled feathers and nothing else and the other has a longer tail but no curling. Im so hoping only one (or preferably none) are males, Because if its two, one will definatly have to go.

Also If anyone has any idea what breed i would love to know too

Here are some pics

This is the one with the random long feathers

This is the other maybe Roo

This is the rest of them, that I think are girls

Sorry for so many pics but thanks for any help you can give me

looks like your on the money. 2 roos for sure. Can't help you with breeds thoug other than you have at least 2 breeds... some white and some yellow legs.

I see 3 roosters. The 2 in the first set of pics. And the one hiding in the back on the right in the last picture.

2 boys 4 girls

I think the one at the back in the last pic is the bird in the third and fourth pics as he has dark neck feathers, he's a roo

as is the first one.

Yup your right, thats the same chicken.

Bugger, Im still holding hope one will magically change into a girl! LOL. I think we actually had 3 roos, but one was taken by a cat, which was a mixed blessing. I suppose i cant keep 2 roos can I

Might not have a two boy problem anymore.

Friggin cat got another one of my girls this morning. I caught it too, must have just missed it happening

Its attacked the chook in the first two pics. Its not moving well and its unsteady but otherwise looks ok. Going to see how it goes, but I dont know
