Hello! This is my first time having chickens and I’m so excited! We would like to have only pullets, but I am have troubles going back on forth on if they are pullets or cockerels. I’ve also had some difficulty determining breed! My husband picked them up and upon going he was going to get one Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte, one buff Orpington, and one ameraucana!
Upon arriving home with them, I know we don’t have a buff Orpington, due to none of them being the right color. The darker red, seems to be a Rhode Island Red, the black and white seems to be a silver laced Wyandotte, and I’m assuming the lighter brown one is an ameraucana or Easter egger? I’m not sure at all on the mainly white and speckled! They are all supposed to be 6 weeks old, we are already growing very attached to several of the chicks, so if one turns out to be a cockerel and isn’t one of our top favorites, we would like to swap him out while they are still young (the person we bought them from said we can swap out any roosters for hens whenever). I realize they may still be too young to sex by pictures, but any thoughts!? Thank you in advance!
Chili- Darker red- Rhode Island Red
Nutmeg- lighter brown - ameraucana?
Pepper- black and white - Wyandotte
Poppy Seed- white and black speckle- ???
