Can you tell what breed I have?

I acquired these cuties last night but have no clue what they are. Can anyone tell? I know with them still be small it may be hard to tell.
I am not worried with gender yet. Just curious to breed.
Thanks!

agreed, red sex links and black sex links. Which means they're all girls.

I was just doing my research now on these and was going to ask if they looked like all girls at this point. My research was pointing in that direction!!! If so, I am one happy chicky momma!!!!

.... which is not truly a breed by the way. Red and Black Sex links are hybrids, and were created for producing copious amounts of eggs. The reds are from either a RIR roo / New Hampshire Red roo and Leghorn hen or Delaware hen - the blacks are from RIR roo / New Hampshire Roo and a barred rock hen.

They should be because they are sex linked meaning you can determine the sex from hatch - there’s 0 doubt that you have all pullets.

I agree with red and black sex link pullets mostly - not certain about that last chick's breed and gender.

I was just reading about that. I have no experience with these yet. This is my actual full first year with chickens. So far I have Easter Eggers, Barred Rocks, Olive Eggers, and Red Laced Wyandottes. Fifteen total hens was my goal, with these new additions they will bring me to 20 total and I still want some marans.

Don’t you just love chicken math?
