Gender and breeds? 10 week old chicks taken home from daughter's classroom...

[marcit]

I have a feeling we ended up with 3 roos out of the 4 chicks we took home. I hope not, but at least it would be great to know what breeds we have! Any wisdom would be much appreciated.

So here are my newby guesses.
#1 Is a roo about 12 weeks old. Do not know breed.
#2 Is a Pullet looks like my Production Reds about 12 weeks also
#3 Is a Pullet Barred Rock about same age as others
#4 A roo about same age-not sure of the breed.

Lets see how I do.

Thanks for the input! They are all 10 weeks old: We know the hatch date. It's difficult to see, but #3, the black and white chicken, has white legs and a fairly large comb. I know there are breeds similar to barred rocks, but with white legs... Also difficult to see are the feathers on the legs of #2 (the "red"). Further thoughts?

Duh you had the age in your title. I was only about 2 weeks off so that means im getting better!
No your new info has stumped me. My Rocks all have yellow legs. The feathers on the legs of #2 would rule my guess.
I guess we will have to wait on the real chicken pros to weigh in.
Good luck!

Your guesses are better than mine.
