I have four Easter Eggers, a Barred Rock, and a couple of Silkies that I could use some help guessing the genders of. Mouse, the dark brown EE, is most likely a roo, but the rest seem to shift gender perception on a regular basis. (pictures are thumbnails; double click for larger image)

Here's a before shot, for those of you who like the EE transition from chick to teen:



Clockwise from Silkie: Squirrel (2 1/2 weeks), Topaz, Aztec, Mouse, and Slug (days old).

Currently:

Mouse (6 weeks -roo?)






Slug (6 weeks- ?)



with Topaz's backside



Topaz (6 weeks- pullet?)



Aztec (6 weeks- ?)



Bar (Barred Rock, 6 weeks- pullet?)





Squirrel (9 weeks old-????)



Moose (9 weeks old-?????????)




I also have a mystery bantam I bought at my local TSC (Townline Hatchery). The other five I know are Sebrights, a D'Uccle, and an OEGB. This one is a mystery. It's gold and black, has a pea comb, and has feathered legs. Is it a specific breed, or some odd mutt?

Mystery chick, 4 weeks old





Sorry about all the pictures, but I wanted to be as helpful as possible. Thanks for playing the home game.

I accidentally did thumbnails. Double click them for the bigger picture. And only a couple of the birds stood still and got close enough for a decent picture, so I did what I could.
 
The older chicks all look like pullets to me so far... but that is just based on my EE chick that is only 4 weeks old having a slightly pinker comb than any of yours, so I am not sure.
