Here are 2 new photo's of the chicks, I believe they are 4-5 weeks old, but not sure. Was wondering if anyone could tell me about how old they are, and maybe if they can tell what they are. Sorry for the messy back ground, we have them in our loft since its warmest up there and we are remodeling our house, so everything is all over the place in boxes in the loft.

They do look around 4 weeks. To me looks like a production red (maybe a red sex link) and a hatchery barred rock, so far both looking pullety.
 
Any ideas anyone? I really like both these chicks, they are both so very friendly and sweet, so I'm hoping that neither are roo's so I can keep them. But I would really like to know what they could possibly be.

Yeah, right as I was writing you answered. Thanks, I was hoping that they stay Pullets, I re-homed 3 chicks yesterday since we had a total of 10 that we had rescued, and I wasn't even planning on having chickens, but now we are committed, the coop just needs to be shingled/painted and the fence/run built, so we now have chickens! :D I'm hoping out of the 7 we have at least 5 pullets, the coop we built should be fine for around 6-8 depending on their size according to my neighbor who has chickens, they actually took the 3 that I re-homed, figured it was better before I get to attached since I knew I couldn't keep them all, but they couldn't tell me what they were. The other 5 are about 1 1/2 weeks I think from what the lady said that was handing them out in front of the store. All those have feathered legs, so I'm guessing they are a Cochin mix. They were hatched at a Preschool, and of course I guess she didn't know what to do with them afterwards. So I took her last 6 because it was freezing outside, and I'm just in love with them all, they are already so colorful, and I just love their feathered legs.
