I have five straight run Dominiques that I got at 2 weeks old and are now 4 1/2 weeks old. I have been reading about markings and head spots, but I just don't seem to be getting it. I am new to chickens and could use some help with this one. Thanks.





 
The first one looks like a possible boy. I have read and heard that the roosters will be much lighter in feather and it seems that one is definitely lighter. I also like the poor little five toed chick. I think that as well as the fourth and fifth are girls and I am not so sure about number two. But then again I am still trying to figure out whether for sure I have a rooster with my 2 dominiques.
 
I keep wondering about that chick. He/she has the 5th toe and is starting to get feathers on his legs. Not sure if that is normal or if it could be a mix chick
