first time chicken owner - any guesses on genders?

[jacquiearnold]

Hi there we have been raising 7 chicks for the past 2.5 weeks. three 20 day old lavender orps, one 20 day old cream legbar (she's a girl), two ameracaunas/easter eggers who are 26 days old, and one 26 day old white mixed breed. I think one of the easter eggers is a roo. I have mixed ideas about whether the white one is a boy or girl and the rest I really have no idea. Any guesses are greatly appreciated.

I have learned so much from this forum and am glad to now be a member!

Thanks,











Jacquie

WAY too soon to even venture a guess!! Wait til they are 6-8 weeks old, repost pics and you'll get better "guesses"....best of luck, they sure are cute!!

Welcome to BYC! 2x on iwiw60's advice. I never had Lavender Orpingtons (only the more common Buffs) but I like the Orpington for their calm, gentle personality. Good luck with your flock.

X3. Those cuties are too young to tell.

Thanks everyone! I'll try and be a bit more patient then and wait for mother nature to reveal more clues.
