These are mostly all chicks from my flock. They were all hatched out in the month of June. I’m not sure who was hatched out when anymore because they all look alike. The hatch dates range from June 6th to the 26th.


Two i know for sure are boys. They’re showing pointed saddle and hackle feathers. But one has brown leakage. The one with brown leakage I’m wondering who the father and mother could be. At the time of their hatching the hens were light brahmas, olive eggers (maran mixes), and Rhodesia island reds. The roosters were a light brahma, and Fuzzy my EE. The puffy cheeked one is more than likely a Fuzzy baby. his picture is here for comparison because he has some brown leakage too.

This is the one i dont know the gender of. He has the larger comb and is generally larger. I even think i see iridescent feathers in his tail. But his saddle feathers look rounded. He could just be younger. I’m also wondering if he‘s a pure light brahma.

They are light Brahma crosses. Brahmas have yellow legs just like Wyandottes. The other parents are more of a mystery, but any with beards are likely to be part Easter egger.

As for gender, the pictures are a little confusing. Bear in mind that Brahmas are a slow developing breed, and that can throw things off even in Brahma crosses. I don't know that the usual signs found in comb size and color will work with these birds.

Here are my guesses.

1 Cockerel in front. Has pointed saddle feathers.

2 Perhaps a pullet.

3 Cockerel

4 Cockerel. Even though the comb is smaller and paler, I believe I see pointed saddle feathers.

5 Big, bright red comb but no saddle feathers. Could be an early developing pullet.

6 Not enough detail is shown to determine gender.

7 Large comb, no pointed saddle feathers. Maybe an early developing pullet.

8 Pullet
 
I do not have any Colombian Wyandottes. I figured the ones with yellow leg

These pictures might help more. I think I got them all. They aren’t marked in anyway in my flock so it’s hard to tell them apart. I tried counting them but kept getting different numbers each time I counted.
Five has the cheek puffs and four has the brown leakage. Those two I’m pretty sure are boys. It’s one that I’m not sure on. He has a large comb and waddles. Two and three have little to no comb development.
