Gender and breed help

[jaemi]

I received some chicks from a woman who had incubated eggs that were given to her and we have no idea what the breed or genders are of them. Any ideas?

Chick #1

Chick #2

Chick #3

Chick #4

Chick #5 (bigger and more aggressive)

Chick #6 (the black one)

Chick #7 (smallest of the chicks)

Chick #8

They are too young to tell sex yet. Update in a few weeks. We're those eggs purebred or mixes?

No clue what the eggs were they were donated to a school librarian who hatched them and then gave them to me because she couldn’t keep them.

I think many look mixed, but could possibly be pure. It will be easier to tell after they get their adult feathers. Generally 3-5 months.

On chick number 7 you might have got lucky, looks like a Ayam cemani. Ayam cemani adults are sold for $2,500 a pair at GreenEarth Farms. How old are they?

Hers has a yellow break and light legs though.

The smallest of them all does? I thought she looked all black, she might grow out of lighter toenails like mine have been doing.

That would be cool, that ones my favorite because of how different he/she is from the others. I’m not positive about the age but I think around 3 weeks.

My smallest has black legs and beak.

That’s the one I was talking about.
