Hi! I'm brand new to chicken raising and ended up with five bantams accidentally as well as 2 standard pullets (hopefully) I have my doubts as to this big girl though and my bantams, any ideas on if they are pullets/cockerels or what breeds? I need to get rid of any little roos soon so I do t get any more attached TIA!

How old are these chicks?

They're too young to tell gender. Guesses can be made but that's it. Where did you get these chicks as that can help determine what is possible.

I believe #1 and 2 are Mille Fleur D'uccles.

#3 is a silver duckwing Old English Game Bantam and I'm guessing pullet but time will tell. A pullet will get a salmon breast males get black.

#4 is a porcelain D'uccle

#5 I'm guessing black OEGB but not sure on this one. Is it the same size as the silver duckwing?

#6 I'm not sure on but at that age with pinking wattles and those legs seem pretty big to me. It could be a cockeral. I'll let someone else guess the breed.
 
Thanks for the help! Glad it's too early, gives me hope that I'm wrong :) I was seeing many posts where people were discussing gender at around four weeks (which these are, well the pics are a couple days old so maybe they were 3), so I thought I must be missing something obvious. Guess not! Happy to know some of these breeds though, quite a variety! It'd sure be nice if they'd end up as hens. I'd have a colorful little flock. Got them at TSC by the way. The bins were mismarked, thus the accidental purchase of five bantams:hmm
