TSC chicks

[CGinJCMO]

What are they looking like now that they are getting feathers? I'm not very good at baby chick identification...to me they look like too many possibilities.
Hopefully, someone else can help.

the chicks are 4 and a 1/2 weeks old, ducks and geese 2 and a 1/2

Here's my guesses: The black one might be a black australorp, Not sure on the white one but that comb is already turning reddish so it's a boy, then the brown one is possibly a red sex link.

Looks like you have some warm concrete to sunbathe on.

I agree that the black one is an Australorpe and the red one is a Red Sex Link (great layer).
The bantam is more difficult but is a rooster.

black one is not a australope. my chick has solid black legs. the bin i got them from said Black Production pullets, Buff Orpington pullets, and Bantams. the bantam breed is unknown the red one looks more like a sex link. so do i still have 2 females and a rooster? the black pullet is the boss also. the whitish blue bantam does try to discipline her though

I think the bin was incorrectly labeled. You don't have a buff orpington - none of the pictures of it ever looked like a BO, more like a production red or something along those lines. The white w/ black spots looks like my tetra tints, but they didn't look like that chick when they were babies, so I don't know what that one is. The closest thing I can think of for the black is an Australorp but its skin is very dark and it has a different body shape. Kind of like a game hen - looks like a pullet. You do have to remember that TSC chicks won't necessarily look like the APA standard. They may have a different comb shape (like my single combed GLW) or different colored feet or an oddly colored feather here and there. When purebred animals are overbred, buried traits pop up. I think they combined a few bins into that pullet bin. I saw a few mislabeled bins this year at my TSC stores. Caveat emptor.

Forgot to add - I don't think the white one looks any more like a roo than the red one. That said, they both have a lot of red going on in their faces. The black looks like a pullet

So am I in for trouble if the red and whitish blue chicks are roosters? Because i have 5 one year old hens and at least 1 eight week old hen now if the red and whitish blue chicks are not hens.

the white one has to be a rooster because it seems to like to be alone and sometimes looks at my foot like it wants to fight. The other two explore while the white one stands around also the black hen seems to be dominate all of them. white one only attacks her when she gets to hyper.

Are their temperaments now any indication how they will be when their hormones kick in?

The black hen is independent and hyper, the red one is needy and the white one is independent, patient and calm and doesn't seem to care for hanging out with the other two. white one i think wants to be a duck because it would rather hang out with them and acts like them with a go with the flow kind of attitude.
