This is mostly just for fun. 😉
They are only 5 1/2 weeks
and 3 1/2 weeks
The first two pics are of the 5 week olds. One is a crossbeak and is probly why she is smaller.
The 3rd pic is the 3 week old which I'm sure will be super hard to guess what it will be.
I'm gonna be doing gender testing so this is just for fun and then I'll post an update on what they are once I know. 😊

I have some silkie eggs under a silkie hen that are due around the 22nd. They will be my first time hatching my own silkies (all the other eggs have haven’t eaten it sold on for hatching), and this post has made me even more excited.
Thanks.
 
At this age the only thing that can really give you a clue is the comb (even though they are still too young for sexing) and I can't clearly see the comb on any of the chicks. Could you post some better pics of their combs? Sort of like the bottom left picture of the crossbeak chick, but that one has food hiding its comb.
I don't necessarily support trying to "save" crossbeaks, but hey, not here to judge. You do you :) I just strongly suggest you don't breed it when it grows up.
