I am going to try this again. None of my pictures showed uo last time when I did a preview.. Anyways Here goes..
I will post them in groups by the breeds I was told they were as well as genders and if anyone can tell me if the genders are correct or if I may have a little roo, that would be great.

Sorry about the bathroom pictures, it is the warmest room in the house, and the only room without cat access, We are getting ready to redo the flooring in there as well so it is a bit rough..

I just realized how small the pictures are:( I thought they would be a bit bigger...hmm...
 
You mean both my Tetra Tints? ..lol, Gotta love TSC, They came out of a pullet bin I was told they were sex linked and female (which means absolutely nothing to me at this time since I know very little about chickens-learning more each day:)
 
No those are tetra tints, look just like the others on this forum and mine. They do seem to mature quick, and they have large combs, but everything else (feathers, etc) looks pullet.
 
So my tetra tints look like females. I am thinking I have all girls. I was hoping for one roo. I figured with straight run chicks, it would be 50/50 so I just grabbed 2 of them. lol.
 
I get done work at 7pm tonight, I am going to try to resize them a bit larger. and edit the pictures on here. I picked up six more Americauna chicks this morning, I just had to. I was trying to pay more attention to specifics as I was getting them. One thing that I noticed, On all of the chicks I already have, when I got them, it looked as though they had double wing feathers. Four of my new chicks also have these "double rows" when their wings are expanded. Two of them on the other hand, have completely level one row of feathers. From what I read, two rows equal female, one row equals male? Is that true?
