Found abandoned chicks in a hospital parking lot

[Birdsofafeather23]

I found these chicks in a hospital parking lot on Wednesday. We moved them to the park before deciding to take them home. I sure have learned a lot in the last three days. I’m trying to figure out what breed they may be. I think one may be a pullet and the other one a cockerel? Any idea on what breed they are?

Can you tell the sex?

It's too early, try posting pictures when they're 6-8 weeks old

I think they would be to young for that

Thanks. Lots of things on line saying wings that look one way and tails and other things. Wasn’t sure if those were sure things or not. I tried looking at their vents but certainly that takes experience.

The black one is the Easter egger? Sorry, I SO new to this!

Wing sexing is a trait that has to be bred for and most birds aren't. Tail length in young birds tends to be random - especially in easter eggers. The chipmunk looking one is your easter egger

No, too early.

Well, wing sexing is still possible, just not the long short method used for birds bred for it.
I use what I call the butterfly technique.
