We bought a batch of assorted straight run bantams from Tractor Supply a couple weeks ago, and we'd like some help learning what we have. They are a few days older than two weeks. If you can tell us the gender, we'd love to know that too.
Feathered feet, very active.
We think this one's a silkie, because it has five toes, but it doesn't have much of a topknot. Seems large for a silkie. Does that mean it's a boy?
Feathered feet and frizzled feathers.
Feathered feet, really pretty blue color. Very active.
Very loud, active chick. Clean legs.
Feathered legs, frizzled feathers.

Another probable Silkie because it has five toes. No visible topknot at all though.
The next two came from a Silkie breeder, and they are also about two weeks old. Can you tell the gender yet?
We bought the chicks to give to two broody hens after a rat snake ate all but three of their eggs. Of those three eggs, only one hatched: this LF Blue Cochin. Does that fact that it has no wing feathers yet after two weeks mean it's a boy?
The last two are also full size, not bantam. The first is also from Tractor Supply, and just came from the Assorted Pullets selection. Is she a mix, or can any of you tell her breed?
This one we think is full size and also has feathered legs. Any guess on the breed or gender?
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!!
