I'll never tell on ya!
Those are Dominiques? I wonder if they are sexable by the size of the headspots and/or color of the legs, like many claim is possible with Barred Rocks.

Yes they are Dominiques. No clue if they are sexable at this age.

I heard that their are theoretically sexable as day one chicks, very similar to barred rocks. Unfortunately, it's never easy (at least for me) to tell sex by those head spots or leg color. You can try to post on the Dominique thread and see what the experts say. In the worst case, you will be able to sex them by the feather color in several weeks.

Very cute chicks anyway.

I'm sure we all hate freezing our butts off while taking care of the animals. However, I dare to say that we all realize that we beat the cold temperatures to kill off the excess weeds, bugs and insects. Including wasps, hornets, fleas and ticks and mice.
The temperature will be back up to forty in less than a week. Anyone else worried about the summer?

Why would I worry about the summer? If I has extra bugs that just means I get more chickens to eat the bugs. Sounds like a win win to me.
 
Lol!
I mean, I am concerned about all the hornets that make nests in my porch. I don't want the hot sun to scald my plants if I don't water them six times a day. And I don't want all the fleas from the neighbors cats and dogs to make their way into my yard. The dog is protected, but fleas love eating baby girls that play in the grass.
That kind of worry!
