Preschool chicks- 9

[MAndreoni]

My kiddos hatched chicks at their preschool and we brought home four of them. Wondering if anyone has any idea what kind of chickens they are and if we have any lil roos in our backyard flock! Thanks!!!

Pics 3 & 7, the light and dark gray, are cockerels. Number 2 is a possible cockerel, but I'm not sure - wait and see on that one.

Welcome to BYC! Your chicken/kid pics are DARLING! However, I would caution you, if you're going to have kids around the chickens, and especially close to their faces, give the kids wrap around safety glasses/sunglasses that fit tightly to their faces. Chickens can and have pecked out people's eyes with no warning, and kids are particularly susceptible. Chickens see a nice, wet eye, and they MUST PECK!!!

ETA: I see now that 3 & 7 are the same bird. I still think it's cockerel, and I'm not sure about the black one. How old are these chickens?

These are arucanas

They look to all be Easter eggers or Arucanas I really hope I spelled that properly.

Are any of them looking like roosters? I was thinking possibly our grey one? But I'm not sure!

I'm sorry I laughed, it's just the last part " Must Peck" got me off guard. Anyway I'd also say wait till you hear crowing before getting rid of any possible roos to avoid the chance of giving away a hen.

My polish pecked my 2 year old in the eye not super hard but enough to scare him and he was just down on her level looking at her. She’s sweet but eyes are irresistible.

Agreed that they’re Easter eggers and at least 8 of them are pullets.
