New babies but no idea of the breed or sex

[Donjeff]

Hi everyone I found these chicks discarded in a plastic bag, I have looked after them for just over a week but have no idea of the breed or the sex, I am hoping they are his so I can keep them as males would be too noisy for where I live with neighbours so would have to give them away.

Too early to say yet for gender, they look like austrawhites for breed though.

How old do you think they are.

I was walking the dog at a beauty spot near where I live and saw this bag at the side of the road and it was moving, when I opened it there were six chicks but three were dead so I brought them home. Took them to the vets the day after and they said they were perfectly healthy so now I am a father of three Omelette , Nugget and Florentine

Thank you for saving these living beings from suffocation.

Do they have feathered legs? Also, I think I see muffs on at least one of them?

I’m gonna try this on my husband: no, honey, I didn’t buy those chicks, I found them in a plastic bag by the trail overlook!

In all seriousness, people amaze me. Four months ago, people were getting in fist fights at Tractor Supply over the last few available chicks. And now, people are dumping them like unwanted puppies?

Thank you for being there for these little ones!

Yeh they all have feather on their legs, I wondered if they were Faverolles but they don’t have five toes.
