Hello, I am new to this forum and absolutely love it! The information is so helpful as I am a new chicken mama. If someone could please help me with a current baby chick problem, I would truly appreciate it! I don’t know the sex of my chickens or the breeds for certain. I have done a lot of searching and I think I might know the breeds but I’m not 100% sure. I believe the white chicks are white leghorns and the black are black australorp chicks. A family member gave me 4 baby chicks when they were 3 weeks old that she hatched, but she wasn’t sure of the sex or breeds. Thank you to my beautiful cousin lol! Now that they are getting bigger at 8 weeks old, I think 2 of them are roosters, one of the white chicks and one of the black. Can someone please help me? I would truly appreciate it and thank you in advance! I have attached some photos, they don’t let me get very close without running from me so I hope you can see them clearly, if not I’ll try and get more photos later :)

So what I think they are is two white leghorns and two black australorps. It looks like you have one for sure pullet (the black one with the less defined comb) and one for sure cockerel.(the white one with the largest comb) as for the other two i think the white one is also a rooster and the other black one being a pullet.

Thank you very much for your help! I had a feeling 2 of them were Roosters. I thought one of the black chicks because of the comb on his head, the other black chick doesn’t have it and I thought one of the white chicks because the one has a bigger higher and bright red comb where as the other white one has a smaller one and the red isn’t as vibrant. So that’s why I asked for help because I was so confused lol! Thank you again!
