UPDATE: Chicks in Question :)

[PioneerPrincess]

I have five chicks that I need help in telling either breed or gender. They are a little over eight weeks old. I realize they may be too young yet to tell what gender, but I figured it was worth trying.

Thank you so much for your help!

What breeds are these?

I bought Honeysuckle from the local feed store. I don't know what breed of bantam she is though.

Olive was also purchased at the feed store. She does have a partly crooked beak, but she eats very well, and I trim her beak when it grows too long. She is a sweet little bantam. What breed is she?

What gender are these?

Dove was ordered as a pullet. She is the only one of our seven White Leghorns to have a pink/red comb, which is why she's in question.

In comparison, Milk, one of the other White Leghorns, has a yellow comb .

Lavender was ordered as a pullet. About two weeks ago, I saw 'her' trying to breed with one of the pullets. 'She' doesn't really seem like a pullet, unless EE's are generally like this???

Lavender in comparison with Heather, the other EE

I bought Sunflower from the local feed store as well. He/She is a Buff Brahma, although I'm not sure whether he/she is standard size or bantam.

Lavender is a boy. I'm not positive on the leghorn, but she looks like a pullet to me. All the rest are girls.

Totally guessing on breed for Olive, but mottled Japanese maybe? The buff brahma looks like a bantam.

My guess for#1 is a Red Pyle OEGB.

Thick legs on Lavender but other than that no pointy hackles no red comb. I say they are all girls.

Thanks for all the helps so far!! Does anyone else have any ideas?

Olive looks like she might be a mottled Japanese.
Honeysuckle looks like an OEGB.
Not sure on Dove. Kind of on the fence. That is an awful red comb for an 8 week old chick though.
Lavender looks to be a roo. That's a very red prominent comb for an 8 week old.
Sunflower looks like a pullet at this point. Not sure on the LF vs bantam though. I don't have anything to guage her size against.

Update:

Honeysuckle started laying this week! Olive is very close to laying and I think Sunflower laid an egg too! Sunflower (she is a bantam

) is so talkative when she is held. I am quite sure that Dove is a pullet. Lavender is a roo, as he is crowing and breeding with the pullets. He's way too rough with the pullets though, so we may have to sell him or send him to freezer camp.

Thanks for all y'all's help!
