UPDATE: Mutts- 8 weeks old now! New SIDE PICS Gender Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the help!
 
#3 Lawless, she looks alot like my Black Australorp chicks that are about that age. #6 looks like she might have Americana in her. They all look like girls to me at this point but it's so hard to tell. My chicks were born March 3rd and I can tell the roos from the hens. At least I have three that i suspect are roosters. I bought all pullets at the farm store except for one frying pan special and he was a Rhode Island Red. I can tell for sure that he is a rooster. He is getting a saddle and he looks way different from my RIR hens. I have Silver Laced Wyandotte that I think is a he. He has a bright red rose comb and big wattles and the girls his age don't look like that at all. I have a Black Australorp that looks like a male too. None of mine are getting spurs. I keep waiting to hear them crow. Your chicks are very cute whatever they are. I have barnyard mixes in the incubator due to hatch any time!

Thank you VERY much!! My husband will be happy about Lawless getting to stay. The only chicken he liked and wanted to name.

The lady that gave me the eggs came over a few times and keeps "guessing" who mom and dad would have been. She has a TON of chickens so it's a guessing game on breed etc. I like all of these guys/gals.. I have one more that I am having trouble getting a good picture of now.. It's the one I thought was a Large EE/Cochin Roo back in the day but I'm thinking hen now. Supposedly she is likely a White Rock/Cornish/Cochin mix so she's a big girl!

Anyone else want to take guesses??
 
Hey everyone...

Here are some more pictures. I still need to catch a few more good ones of a couple of others but here are some more.. These guys are 8 weeks old now. STILL hoping for hens..

Looks like Wobble is the only boy. I really love the Silkie mixes.

Thanks! They are sweeties too.. I hope Wobble isn't a boy

She had something wrong with her legs.. I had a thread all about her. Poor dear .. it was a very sad day here. I think both Speck and Guinness are Silkie Mixes.. they both have blue skin and 5 toes.
