Chick Breed, Hens or Roosters

[PacificaHensmom]

Hi Everyone I'm a new chick mom my chick are now about 6 weeks old. We adopted them from my son class. Any know what kind of breeds they are or possibly can tell early if they are roosters or hens please?

Easter eggers. Grey one looks like a pullet (girl). Not sure about the red one. Post some more pics in a week or two.

When do start changing the food and to what?

They look like pullets. And I also think ee or mixed with it because of the cheeks.

Starter/grower can be fed until they are about to lay. 18+ weeks. Then switch to layer.

Puffy cheeks are usually Easter Eggers... Sunshine looks like getting some red waddles? I’m voting that looks like a rooStar and Tootsie looks like a pullet. Curious to see them in a few weeks! Cute chicks

Yeah, Sunshine didn't look so red in the first pics. He's probably a cockerel
They are all cuties.

Okay I had read opposite that the Amercuana has the puffy cheeks. Tootsie are looking like whiskers I love her she is so gentle loves to be held sometimes lol and so small sunshine has always been big but just hoping it's a hen with waddles I would hate to look for a new home after falling in love with her. Do roosters lay down like if they are laying eggs?
