I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

[Chad Brantly]

Hi, Sarah. I am brand new to chicken fatherhood, and I would love to know the breed and sex of my chicks. All 8 of these chicks were sold as "barnyard mix" and should all be between 6 and 8 weeks old. I posted 2 pictures of each. So, what do you think?

Can you tell me what breed this is? Thank you

Mixed breed, possibly from an Olive Egger project.

Those chicks look like they are maybe 5 weeks old at most. The first two are cockerels (whole lot of comb development for such young chicks) probably from an Olive Egger project. You've got quite a few Silkie mixes. Might some Orpington in a few. The last couple might be second generation Welsummer/Marans crosses.

@Chad Brantly those chicks are not as old as you were told. Pretty birds.

I have three Black Australorps that are all the same age. This one is far more mature than the other two. Just wanted to be sure it's a "she". I thought my first egg came from this one, but it turns out that it was from one of my Rhode Island Whites.
