My chicks, roos or hens in the makins....pictures

[poodlepill]

This is showing 3 of my 4 SLW chicks. Two have more white on them than the other two, any significance?


Next picture is my two RIR one is significantly bigger than the other (same hatch) the smaller one has more white on it too.

Next is my 4 Buff Orps, roos? hens?

Last is my 4 Barred Rocks, roos? hens?

All of the BOs look like girls to me. In the BR pic, the 2 on the right look like boys and so does the chick behind them, but I can't really tell. I'm just guessing.

 

[Chickenfur]

you sure the 2nd ones are RIRs?

I agree that the BRs look like 2 pullets on the left and 2 cockerels on the right (they have more white and they both appear to be getting a good comb on them.)
BOs still too early.

Thanks Mikasgirls, I thought the BO's were girls too as they all have the same feathering, one is smaller the others are chunks. Of my BR yes I had a feeling I had 2 and 2

Chickenfur, Nope, not sure of anything. The sign said RIR (actually the second picture right) and they are red, red-er than the others...LOL and one is qute a bit bigger and more feathered

Click on the first picture showing my SLW, it will go bigger. I used the thumbnail code then found the other code.

The SLWs having more or less white doesn't mean anything except lacing quality - As they grow, especially when being feedstore/hatchery chicks, they will either have partial lacing, full lacing, or be almost entirely black.

The BR on the far right is a roo I believe.

Thank you, all I could get my hands on were feed store chicks. So far all 14 are doing great and haven't lost one. I keep researching and will find some people that raise chickens for me to pick some more pretty birds. I really want to find a couple Polish crested. Maybe I will have to be the one that has all the different breeds....LOL

Any thoughts on the two RIR (second pic) and the BO and the SLW too young to tell?
