Going to need help identifying and sexing a heap of chicks!

[Flicks chicks]

Hi, we recently gained A lot of chicks and from what I can gather maybe a mix of 7different breeds. At the moment it is a guessing game as we gained them at between 1-3wks old and even between chicks the down on them is going at different speeds.
From show breed hatchery so guessing all proper breeds. My first question is what breed of chick looks like the native myna birds. Easiest way to describe. Thanks

I don’t know the breeds, but this is quite a difficult question because there are uncountable many breeds all over the world.
To narrow it down a bit you could tell us where you live.
And why not ask the person where you bought your chicks what they are or wich breeds he has?

The chick on the second photo has a large comb for a young chick and is probably a cockerel.

Where did the birds come from a breeder or feed store ?

Thanks for that yep we adopted at a small cost to stop them having to be air freighted home. Been told they are a mixture. I am thinking possible aracuana but waiting to see if ear tuffs develop? Live In Sydney

Can you please put Sidney In your profile.

Living in Australia probably narrows it down a bit. And it is always nice to connect with people in the same area.
Some rules, regulations and climate issues can be quite different than they are for the people in other parts of the world.
