Hello all. I posted awhile back regarding the sex/breed of my chickens. They look somewhat similar, but came from three very distinct eggs.

All born within a couple hours of each other on Easter- so they are about 2 weeks old.


I was wondering if anyone have a guess on the sex or breed, because none of it is textbook (IMO).

Suki also has some random black spots on her (him?)

Roo was named roo because I had a feeling it was a 'he' (and 'Roo' was the top name the kids wanted to name one of the chicks). The wings and tail were so much shorter to start with, and the feather pattern (I know not reliable) was different.

Thanks guys!
 
Roo looks like a Mediterranean build body, so white leghorn or a derivative of those, possibly, especially if the shell pic is the same order they are listed in the next pic)

Suki is looking the most roo-like with the pinking comb. The feathered feet....cochin, French white marans (due to the chocolate shell, do white Marans even exist?) Wait...black spots? French Splash Marans which do exist or Splash Cochin, but with the tail, the Marans is more likely

Sumi, green shell, muffs....an Easter Egger of some sort. There's so many hatchery specific designer names...
 
The white one hatched first, the other two I stepped away and they were all crawling all over, so not sure which one was which.

These came from a woman on Etsy- and I figured 'why not?'. Her store has since been shut down, lol. What she said they would be- they are obviously not, haha!

Mystery chicks can be lots of fun!

Suki definitely fits that bill! I didnt even know that breed (but then again I dont know much). But yes- I think that is what we might be looking at for sure. Im praying not a roo.... He/She is my favorite. :(

The redder comb is potentially roo. However, no growth, no wattles is good.
