Please help with breed and gender

[RooPapa]

Hi folks! We hatched 22 chicks 3 weeks ago and have lost track a bit in the reeds, particularly between Barnevelders and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes as they looked quite similar as hatchlings. At least to us newbies.

We are trying to discern what we have and see if we can tell gender on a few of the more obvious ones.

I think this first is a male Barnevelder. Can anyone please confirm?

This second is a Swedish Flower Hen (I think!).

Thank you all!

First on looks like a gold laced Wyandotte, barnevelder have a single comb, not rose comb.

Second one I don't know.

I agree. The first is a Wyandotte, and is a male. I'm guessing the second is a Swedish flower and it is also a male.

Thank you both for such quick responses!

10-4 on the Wyandotte. I had forgotten about the combs. That will make it much easier.

General forum etiquette question - as I pick others out I want to query, should I continue in thi thread or make a new one?

Thanks again!

Your thread, do as you please. You may get more answers in multiple threads, but I'm just guessing at it.

Agreed.
