Hi new to the group!

[HiyokoMama]

We have 5 chicks, currently 8 weeks old. They were given to us without any info on what breed they are, most likely mutts. Our friend who hatched them received their eggs from the Agricultural Commission where they were allowed to borrow an incubator to hatch them for children to observe. We *think* they are 1 barred rock and 4 light brahma chicks, though we don't know if they are male or female.

Hi and welcome to BYC - great that you have joined us. If you can get individual pics, side-on, of each bird and post here, you will get some opinions as to likely breed (or mixes) and more accurately, their gender -

The first is a barred rock pullet. I can only see a bit of leg feathering on one Brahama. Do the others have leg feather too? Individual photos would be best

Hi dumstick diva, thank you! Yes all the "light brahmas" have feathering on their feet and pea combs, I'll try to get better photos of them but this is what I have for now
