pullets or cockerels? also what might they be mixed with?

[raygirl4386]

these 3 chicks will be 8 weeks on tuesday 6/26. i hatched them out of 18 and kept these 3 and bought 3 factory sexed pullets just in case i got it wrong. i did the wing sexing (you know short and long row mean a girl and all one length means a boy) well im thinking 2 might be boys =(. also if anyone could guess as to what the breeds they are tha t would be great too they are barnyard mixes, just want to get an idea of what they are mixed with.

Keep an eye on the speckled bird. That could be a very poorly bred Barred Rock or mix of Barred Rock, such as a Black Sex Link bred back to something. If the age is right, 8 weeks, then there is substantial comb and wattle growth there (signs of a cockerel). Just keep an eye.

yes thats the one im REALLY concerned about since no one else has that much growth going on.

his/hers outer toes on both sides are deformed as well not sure if thats my fault since i hatched them or just bad jeans but he/she can still roost,walk and run around normal
