Evening other chick parents,

please could I have your thoughts, guesses on gender, need to know how many coops I may need.
Pictures 1-4 named buckbeck- black buff Orpington.
pictures 5-8 named Ginny- buff Orpington
Pictures 9-12-named hagrid no sure what they are told Orpington but seems to be struggling compared to the rest.
pictures 13-16- named Luna Easter egger.
Any ideas on gender, please rest assured all chicks will be cared for, just need to decide on coops and runs and maybe more hens.
Thanks

Age? They look a bit young to sex with complete accuracy. All are mixed breeds. No Orpingtons there.

The first one looks like your only pullet. Possibly. A lot could change with that one as it matures. The rest appear to be cockerels. The smaller one is the same age? If so, it could be suffering from a condition called "Failure to thrive".

They are 5 weeks all except the little one not looking well he is nearly 8 weeks, he eats and drinks no problem is there anything I can do for him?

Post updated pics of the larger chicks in 2-3 weeks.

Oh wow, poor little thing. If that one is 8 weeks, that's likely a pullet. There's not much that can be done other than make sure they get enough to eat/drink. Feel free to do a site (or a Google) search for failure to thrive chicks and read up on it.
