I was gifted some babies and have no idea what they are!

And our Black Australorp…
Yep and that’s exactly what it looks like! I hope it’s not a rooster! I think it is but I have only one and it already has a comb. He’s so fuzzy, I tried to look to see if he was getting a waddle to hope he was maybe just different than everyone else. I think the other one might be an Easter egger with really fluffy cheeks. She is always so sleepy and calm compared to the other 3. Thank you so much for replying! A black australorp!
 
Omgoodness ours look just like that! Thank you so much for commenting! They are adorable! They are honestly the dearest things. Such a beautiful chicken as well! I’m hoping to sweet Jesus they are hens because I have just realized that out of 11 babies of mixed ages I probably have 2 polish roosters, 1 lavender Cochin roo, and a welsummer roo and the black legged one is possibly a roo as well! And I have a silkie I have no idea yet. It didn’t even cross my mind when I picked them up that she would have gotten a straight run of babies! I think that is what they are called when they are a mixed bag. I am so new to this. I have one frizzle bantam Cochin roo and a GC hen and was planning to go to a local breeder and buy 8 pullets and call it a day when this happened. I have no idea what to do with all these roosters! Raise them until I can hopefully give them away?
So fun! Your pics are super cute, looks like you have a happy bunch. Fingers crossed you have a good mix of hens in there too!

Awesome! Amazing breed, and if I recall my girl’s comb developed earlier and a little bigger than the others at that age, about 3 weeks old. Feathers are soft like velvet. Fingers crossed maybe it is a pullet? Post updates when they get bigger, would be fun to see how it turns out! All the best!
 
My money is on the one front and center being A roo. No idea otherwise none of the chicks I've raised look like any of those.
