HELP!!!! I don't know what I have!

I brought these chicks back from the stable I go to and have no idea what they are or what sex they are. I think they are some kind of bantams because the mother hen was, but she's been known to hatch other chicken eggs.

im only going to guess the breed by the leg color and say they are ee's or ee crosses

Can you tell if they are male or female?

 

[jossanne]

It's too early to tell if they're male or female yet. Watch for early pink in their combs. That's a good indicator of male-ness.

I'd bet they're cross breeds of some sort, and I'm going to agree with the first response that they could be easter eggers, based on green legs. Easter eggers are beautiful mutts that often lay greenish eggs.

Whatever they are they are adorable.

Here is a great site with a lot of pictures.

Ok, the kids have gotten a little bigger, I'm not really sure how long till I can tell which are pullets and which are cockrels. I thought I would trow up some pics and see if anyone could tell.

I was guessing boy, named him george

George again

This is Maude.

This is Gertie, landing on my hand.

Gertie, she doesn't like to pose

This is Millie

Millie again.

Heres everyone in my rabbits old cage.

Not sure if I'm right with the sexes, any guesses?

I think it's still too early to tell what sex they are. They look like EE's to me though.

maude is definately a EE, the silver penciled color, can see it "Sprouting" out already, others. no idea but im assuming the same thing since their clutch mates
