This is Goldie and i believe it is a pullet, but have to ask as i am new to all of this. I believe the breed is Gold Laced Seabright, but for all i know it could be a wyandot. so here are a few pics of her.











Ok so here is Ashley, believe to be a Buff Brahma, that comb is very suspicious! But I'm hoping she is a she.












Ok so now we go on to Banana, I'm not sure even what breed he may be, but am pretty sure this is ROOSTER! you decide.









And last but not least here is Duckie, can't even imagine what gender it is but going by growth rate i would guess a hen, but my only guess on breed i can find is an Easter Egger. please help.











Thanks for looking and any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks Tweek
 
just to clarify, goldie and ashley i would believe are close to the same age and about 2 weeks older than the other 2. And then duckie and banana are the same age. Banana and Duckie were i believe day old chicks but can't be sure as they were from TSC. I have now had them a month. if this helps with sexing any.
 
Ok so Ashley his shown true self this morning as he started to crack a crow, well here is to building another coop. still could use help with the breeds!!

Definatley gold laced sebright, roo?

Mille fleur d'uccle, roo

Splash... does he have feathered feet? I'm thinking OEGB, but if he has feathered feet, Cochin.

OEGB or EE pullet.

Hi,

I think your Ashley is a Belgian Bearded d'Uccle Mille Fleur rooster. I have one almost just like him. Notice the beard, and the large feathers black or gray feathers on the feet that are parallel to the floor. I actually thought my d'Uccle chick was a Brahma at first also. The white "snow" starts to show up slowly at first. We realized ours was not a Brahma when he started showing snow flakes on both shoulders and realized about the only thing he could be was a Mille Fleur.

Your last one looks like an Old English Game bantam pullet. You can look them up on one of the big hatchery websites and see photos of the different color patterns.

barkinghills As you say this i noticed some snowing coming in on his feathers (Ashley),

lollipop, goldie the seabright is a pullet, from what i can tell. Ashley is starting to show the Mille markings as we speak. Banana has clean legs, so OEGB may be a possibility but i was kinda thinking maybe a japanese, and as for duckie pretty sure it is a pullet and it seems a few of you are to, but looking at EE and OEGB pics it is hard to tell what she will be when she grows bigger.


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh it kills me not knowing this stuff.

Don't be too sure on Goldie. Seabrights are extra tricky to sex because the roosters are hen feathered. Meaning just that, the boys don't get the typical stringy saddles and hackles that most use to distinguish the boys from the girls.
 
AHHHHHHHHHHH i see, but does the comb help any with this breed?? Ill see if i can get a better pic of the comb too.

the first pic is the best i have for the comb, looking at the blown up version gives a good look at it
