Hi guys. Looking for some insight as to what breeds they are. 1 & 3 are hens and 2&4 are Roos I believe.

#1 is a Dark Cornish. #3 looks like an Easter Egger. The boys look like Marans crosses.

I have 4 chicks, all approx 4 months old. I will post each one in an individual post for clarity.
I have my guesses on their genders but I've always gotten great and accurate opinions here. So...starting with Vilano/Vilana. This chick is Huge. S/he took quite a while to get color in the comb and recently the comb has become more and more red.

Thanks in advance!

This is Monterrey. His comb has been red from early on. He behaves (IMO) like a male. He is 50% silkie.

This is Lucy the 2nd (Lucy Dos). From the name I chose it is obvious what my guess is. She is 50% silkie and 50% buff orp.

This is Breezy, 50% silkie. (I suspect s/he is the direct sibling of Monterrey). Her comb is still neutral colored. Everything point to female except she has quite long spurs.

This is Bristol. The comb shows much redder than usual bcs we played chase before getting to the pics.

Thank you all for feedback!

Side profiles with the full body and head would help. It's difficult to be sure based just on comb but they all look like pullets from what I see.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take new pics probably tomorrow. You Are saying that about all of them, right?
How do spurs factor into sexing? I know certain breeds neither gender have spurs.
I guess I should just wait until I post the new pics...
Thanks.

They're a little older now and I'm still not entirely sure what genders they are. I think the cream one is likely male but is it possible that the brown one will be a hen?

First chick could go either way. Usually, red splotches like that on the shoulder/wing indicate a cockerel, but I see a bit on the chest too, which could mean it's a pullet with Mahogany. That last pic is definitely a cockerel. That is a huge amount of comb development.
