No worries, happy I could help! I know how frustrating it can be not finding the info you want or need

For what it's worth I think all of yours are Dark, and that it's either 3 roos, 2 pullets or 2 roos, 3 pullets - it's kind of hard to tell from those pics

I am going with 3 boys and 2 girls. I am now watching the feathers to see if I can confirm it that way. It is a fun but slow game doing the "Guess the Chicken Game"

Watch this post, I am going to try to remember to post pictures weekly of them.

That's great, it'll be fun to watch how they turn out!

Oh and it might be an idea to mark either roos or hens with a leg band or something so you know who you identified as what as they grow. I know I easily got confused as to which chick was which when I didn't band them myself

There are few enough of those that I shouldn't have a hard time figuring who is who once their feathering matures a little. I do believe this variety has brown hens and white with brown roos. If I find I am getting lost, I will record it with pictures or something. This is really fun.
To top off that fun, I just received 36 chicks early from McMurray AND the duck eggs I have in the incubator are hatching 3 days early! Yikes!

Sounds like you're a busy woman

I'm still having to wait out the snow until I can start my hatching season, and that's quite a lot of snow we're talking about.... Some has even drifted into a corner of their run (the only ones outdorsey now are the wyandottes but they LOVE the snow, I think they think it's ice cream

) I'm looking forward to start hatching, but as we're hatching 25-50 eggs each time I'm going to HAVE to band them (the chicks, not the eggs)
