Chick #1
There was a hatching for the kindergarten class that is at the school I work at.
I volunteered to take home 4 chicks... no idea what breed they are and trying to figure out pullet or roo...they are 4 weeks old

Chick #4 - this one is quite a bit smaller than chick #3, but hatched same time

Four weeks is a bit young to be absolutely sure but I'll give my guesses.

Chicks 2 and 3 are male based on comb and the thick legs, wattles also on number 3. I'm pretty sure of these two. Number 4 also looks male but it's a bit early to be absolutely sure. Number 1 looks female.

Thanks, I know they are young. Just hoping for fun to see what ppl thought. Plus the Roos have to go back to farmer as I can't/don't want anymore. I think the black is an Araucana. No tail. And I know there were blue and green eggs in the incubator

Put your chicks on the roost to take photos it is easier to work with ....



And try to get whole body shots .....
