Hey yall!! Let’s play the gender/breed game.
Chicks are labeled 1-9, they are 3 to 4 weeks old (ish). I’d like some gender guesses, plus, a breed guess on a few. Thanks!!

Yes, I know still young, but I know some of you are amazing at spotting the Roos early. We are hoping for one, I suspect we have a few.

Chicks are as listed….
# 1 Black Australorp
# 2 Barnyard mix (?)
# 3 Barnyard mix has 5 toes on each foot, featherless legs. (?)
#4 Silkie (Roo vibes ?)
# 5 Silkie Mix (?) has 5 toes and some leg feathering, but satin feathers
# 6 Silkie (pullet vibes ?)
#7 Black Australorp (Roo based on comb size ?)
# 8 Mille Fleur D’Uccle (hen?)
# 9 Millie Fleur D’Uccle (Roo based on comb color and size ?)

Thanks in advance!!

Bonus points for adult comparisons!! đź’ś

Chick 9 is the only definite cockerel, but #1 and especially #7 have pretty big combs so they may be males as well. It's too early to say for sure, though.
I knew 9 was, and we are totally okay with that. He’s a keeper lol.
I have a feeling you’re right about the other two, but we will wait and see.
 
1,7,9 all Roos but if they are the only ones, you have a winner winner chicken dinner!
I would keep one of 3 Roos and keep the hens. I really like the 9th one really handsome chick.
