These chicks are almost 9 weeks old
The two black ones (1 and 2) came from Pekin eggs. 1 has a larger comb and redder comb and wattles but this has only just become obvious in the last few days.
The greyish frizzled chick (3) came from a sablepoot egg.
The other 3 chicks I was told are Rhode Island x light Sussex but I think they’re silkie mixes.
I know pics aren’t great they’re also a little dirty from playing in mud!
Looking for help with sexing them -although I know it would be mostly guesses especially with the mixed chicks
and if anyone thinks the breeds are incorrect let me know.
Chick 4 has the tiniest pink comb starting- no wattles- black feet
Chick 5 has comb and small wattles -pink feet extra toe
Chick 6 has comb and small wattles- pink feet
