I'm going to attempt to keep this as short as possible to start. We have 9 hens currently. I was taking my daughter to work and at the bottom of our hill was 42 chicks spread all over the road. My guess is they were right around 4 weeks old. Someone obviously dumped them and it was only minutes from a large storm letting loose on us. I called my wife and she came down on the 4 wheeler with a large crate to collect them in. Fast foward about 2 hours and a rain storm later, we caught them all and brought them home. I went up to the local rual king just 2 minutes away to get some chick feed and noticed brand new chicks in every bin and they said they just got them in a few hours ago.... (coincidence?). So fast foward again I'm guessing they are at around 7 weeks old and we are trying to determine what breed/sex they are. We were thinking they were possibly cinnamon queens but really aren't sure. We have also notice that the crowns and waddles are coming in at about the same rate minus a few. So I'm hoping that it's just my lack of knowledge in this area and that I don't actually have over 30 roosters but that's my guess at the moment. Any help at all will be appreciated so much. I have some not so great quality pics of them when we first got them that I can add. I also took some new ones just now which was much harder than I thought it would be because they all wanted to either be on me or to peck at my phone when I would try to line up a shot (one pic is and example for laughs).
