Need help clarifying breed and possibly sex or these four chickens. They are 5 wks old.
1- black should be a male Black Copper Marans.
3- brown should be male &/or female Welsummers &/or Speckled Sussex. The middle one specifically seems to be different than the other two.
I have had those breeds, but am rusty on chicks. The middle one looks more like your speckled sussex cockerel. The outside brown chicks look like the welsummers.
The ones that you said are either welsummers or speckled sussexs could also be brown leghorns, unless where you got them dosent have those. All 3 pretty much look identical as chicks.
Hopefully they are not leghorns as they are mail orders of the specific breeds mentioned. I had some shipping deaths so trying figure out what I've ended up with.
The two bigger brown look like my female speckled sussex. The one in the middle looks to be a roo but not sure of the breed but it is different from the other two. Maybe it is a welsummers cockerel.
