Help, We can't decide who to keep

[nyice]

Ok so this is our our first hatch. We have EE's , Barred EE's , and Silkies. We have only decided on 1 definate. A Barred EE that is a pretty grey color. We are hoping if we post a few pictures, some of you could help us figure out what some of these EE babies will look like as adults.

We are only keeping three more.
Here are the EE's

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

Here are the Barred EE's

#6

#7



Any help guessing is appreciated.

That barred EE that is a pretty grey color is more than likely a roo. I'm pretty sure barred rocks are a can be sexed by color and the lighter ones are the roos. Somebody will be here soon to correct me if I'm wrong though!! Beautiful chicks!

me I would keep them ALLL ...

I'd keep 2nd pic, 5th pic, and last pic. If I could have more than 3 I'd keep them ALL!!!!!

Aw, I would love to keep them all. We just can't.

If it helps, the father was a barred and the mom was a EE. I think if it was reversed they would be sex linked. Not possitive, I hoping someone on here knows for sure though. We cant have roos here.

This is the grey one I was talking about. She/He is a few days older and already with our broody hen. This one is a Barred EE as well.

We'll call this one #8

Just wondering why you would pick those three. Any suggestions to what they might look like later on?

Keep #1, 3, 5 and 8. 8 is a definite keeper - beautiful!

I'd keep 1,2,5 and 8. 2 bc the little chipmunks are so cute! and 1 and 5 because they came near your hand/want to know what they look like grown up... HTH's!

I have 4 Banty's that look like #2 do you think they are EE's?

Don't make a decission... Keep the all.
