"Colorful Mix"

[GrandmaKatnip]

I purchased chicks from Welp in Iowa. They had a new offering of a 'Colorful Mix'. When I asked them the actual breeds, I was told that they are whatever hatched that day. Now they are 7 weeks old and are indeed a beautiful mix of colors, but I don't have any idea what breeds they are. They are far more skiddish than my last group and I am wondering if they will eventually get comfortable with human contact or not. Any suggestions? thank you!

I don't know what breeds, but I see two cockerels. The second photo and the last photo. They look male to me. Pretty birds, enjoy them.

Thanks for checking it out. I was supposed to get all hens, but I know that sometimes a male gets in the mix. Last time I ended up with 5 roosters out of 27 in the flock.

I see some Easter Eggers. And what I’m assuming may be Sex Link cockerels.

Thanks. I wouldn't want the job of sexing baby chicks, but is it pretty common for them to get it 'wrong'? I ordered all hens, and wonder how many roosters I will end up with. Last time, I ended up with 5 roosters and that is 5 too many for my yard.

Most hatcheries guarantee a 90-95% accuracy on sexed pullet chicks. I believe the percentage is per chick and not out of the sun total of birds you purchased.
Considering this chart I can see how mistakes can happen.
