New Chick Dad and Need Identity Help

[NCBonnie]

Hello All - BRAND new to backyard chickendom and I’ve had my brooder going for 3 weeks now. REALLY having a hard time IDing a few of my babies, as I got a 10-count mixed rare and standard from Hoover’s Hatchery. I was also informed by a fellow chicken owner that the first chick is likely a rooster. Any and all hep will be GREATLY appreciated. Excited to be here.

Hello and welcome to chickens and to BYC!

At this age, it is hard to ID breeds unless they have very breed specific characteristics. Crest, five toes, beard, black skin etc.

With your chicks, we will need to see them completely feathered out to make an accurate guess.

First one could be cockerel but it is still too early to be sure, the second one could be a pullet.

Repost when they are 6-9 weeks old by then cockerels are easy to identify.

Second one is a Red Sexlink pullet. First one could be several different breeds.

Let’s keep this party going. Do y’all agree with Silver Laced Wyandotte and Rhode Island Red?

And this “gal?” DEFINITELY different from my Silver Laced Wyandottes.
