Out of those pics I only see one girl and she is in the last picture. I am about 99% sure that the one in the first pic is a roo, and 100% sure the rest of them are roos.

Thats what I was thinking too.

Yes she is the top hen and i have 6 Isa Brown hens. Do you have any idea what breed or mixed breed the chicks are????
I used to breed and show Light Sussex, Indian Game and Jubilee Game. This was about 10 years or so ago ,So i am a little rusty when it comes to raising chicks.

LOL I'm relatively new at chicken raising only had them about 3 yrs, I bet it will all come flooding back to you very soon!! Im going to say the white ones are a leghorn mix, possibly even like maybe a tetra tint, or an Austrawhite something like that, and the black ones possibly Australorpe mixes, which to me makes since for all of them if they all came from the same place and the roo was an Australorp??? Having said that I am horrible at bird genetics so once again hopefully someone will in and correct me. I have all kinds of barnyard mixes but none look like your, well maybe the black ones, They (mine) are mixed with BBS Orpington that is Blue but came from BBS, and the mom is my Australorp girl. And same daddy and black sexlink mom look quite abit like your little ones. Hope this helps. Sandy

All roosters except for the last black one. The white ones may not be but they look like golden comet crosses in which case the roosters are normally that color.

Hi chookhilton. I was wondering how the cock vs pullet ratio worked out for you? were any of them girls?
