So my 5 week old chicks are beginning to give vibes of who they will become.... they are a very mixed set of chicks - silkies, polish, bearded and various other bantams. I have 12 in total! Anyone fancy a guess on these? They're not the easiest to photograph so I'll update the head as I go along. Below you see 2 fluffy footed chicks, I suspect the red combed one is a male and the tufted one a female but I may be wrong!

These are one of my fluffy fluffy silkies... I have 4 of these, 2 brown and 2 white/grey... they very hard to get close too. Below is one of those browns and one of the white/Grey's. Also pictured my baby jackdaw!! Not really, it is a chick 🤣 any guess on these?

Millie Flaur is a cockerel and the Silkie mix one is a pullet. Silkies can be hard to sex, for know I would say the whitish colored one is a pullet, the buff one is a cockerel and the black one a pullet.

Thank you you much... that's what I'm thinking on these 5... apart from the white silkie... I have no idea on that one yet
 
Next up for guess pls.... my beautiful frizzle chick.

And the 3 polish, chick 1 and 2 are larger than chick 3. Chick 1 has more brown on it. Otherwise al 3 are v v similar. I'm suspecting chick 1 and 2 are cockerels judging by some behavior!
