It got into the low 90s today so we let the chicks play in the run for a few hours. They were in heaven! I tried to get some good pics in the nice outdoor lighting, but they were having too much fun exploring to sit still :) they are all 4.5 weeks except our Australorp who is one week behind at 3.5 weeks.
Thank you for any guesses or insights!

Lila is definitely a pullet and Nugget looks like a cockerel to me. The rest of them appear to be pullets.
 
Thank you everyone, hoping Nugget stays our only roo!
 
How could chicks enjoy 90 degree weather - ugh.  We hit 90's  in July usually - horrible.  I'd rather have snow.

They are crazy for sure! It was funny bc once they felt the sun the sprawled out on the dirt opened their wings and soaked up the warmth! At first we thought something was wrong they look so funny, but then it became obvious they were just very happy chicks ;) the joys of a first flock!
 
x2. Also, those chicks are fully feathered so they don't need 90 degree weather to be in the run. 

I kept them out all day today, but I still worry about nights for our Ausralorp, she is still a fuz head ;)
