New chicks-ideas on breed?

[Tappy4me]

Some pics from yesterday of the 6 new chicks. Am I right in thinking the dark legged ones (and poofy cheeks of course) are EEs?

DuckBoy, I would suggest you begin a completely new thread concerning your chick or it will make this thread a whole lot of confusing and not a lot of helpful..lol.

About 3 1/2 weeks old now, I think.

Thoughts on breeds yet? Thinking they're all still probably EEs, but I know Welsummers and brown leghorns were mentioned initially.

I am still seeing mostly EEs, did #3's legs turn really green? in some of the earlier pictures looks like they are really yellow abd I would go with another breed. BTW, would keep an eye on #1 especially, that color often means roo in EEs, & conb in #5

I'll have to go look at #3 again. They're a greenish yellow, I believe. Will get back to you on that.

#1, really? Will keep an eye on that one, and #5 too. Go figure, those are the only ones that really have the puffy cheeks haha. xD They're actually the most skittish too.

Thanks for the response! Shame that they all came out of the pullet bin, if those 2 may be Roos.

edited to add: Just went to check. Yep, the yellow legs have turned green. Not 1 out of that group that has yellow legs anymore, interestingly enough.

#4- Going to name her Fearless, I think. She's awesome, and friendly





#5, I think. May be #4 again


Left out #6, as I couldn't get a clear shot.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<This little chicklet might turn out to be a roo becuase of his coloring and his comb is looking a bit rooish. maybe another 5 weeks and he'll be much more obviously a roo or a pullet.

Thanks!

Still hoping all will end up pullets, since they were in the pulley bin. Haha! But 1 out of 6 isn't too bad. I guess. Lol

New pics from letting the chicks outside today. We found some fencing material and made a pen, covering it with plywood so hawks couldn't get in. They seemed to really enjoy themselves. We did 12 at a time.

Pretty sure they're all definitely EEs at this point. The legs on the few that used to be yellow have gone green, albeit some darker than others.
Thoughts on what breeds may be involved here? Also, gambles at gender are welcome. They're about 4 weeks old now, I think.
