What are these chickens?

Oh looked through the other comments and then looked up the Cochin rooster bantam and I agree entirely

After Googling each breed, I believe yall are right! The Brahma and Dom. look exactly like my girls! My mama hens super furry feet were throwing me off. It's so fun knowing what they are. Thank yall SO much.
Hey @busyMamaBear-
Why are the Brahmas your favorite? Its so weird because the Brahama baby chicks are outgoing and friendly, where my Dom. baby chicks are scared and very shy. Here is a picture of them.
Again- thank you!!!

The brahmas seem to be more I want to say tame? They're very calm and mellow and never really run off, they spend a lot of time walking over and just standing around and they let the kids scoop them up like they're kittens. They seem to pass that on to their babies. Also I love the way they look the Dominique's seems sweet and very active and since they're small in think they know they're small which I think makes them
More jumpy. They're not as cuddly even though they're still some of the best great pics!

Brahmas have a reputation for being gentle giants. Your hen is sure a pretty girl, and looks like a good momma!

Is that little guy the father of the chicks? If so, all your babies are sex linked

and you can tell males and females right now.

The Dominique's chicks are the black chicks. The ones with a white spot on the head are male, solid dark head is female.

The Brahma's chicks are the chipmunk looking birds. The red/gold ones are female, the silverish chicks are male.

I CAN SEXT THEM NOW?!?! No way!!! How exciting!! Thank you! And yes. Bahamas are so tame and the Doms are waaay more jumpy and skiddish. Yes! That rooster is the daddy! And mama hen is an amazing mom to them. I am so proud of her. So here is a picture...

The chick on top of mama is a BOY, right? Big white dot....

No dot. So female?? The yellow/brownish chicks Im confused about sexting.

Can you tell me how many females of the yellow you see?? Thanks yall!

Cool, huh

I see 5 chicks from the Brahma. Looks like 2 pullets and 3 cockerels, I think. Here's a pic of my red sex link chicks from years ago.....





Ignore the size difference, the red/gold one was simply a little older than the smaller one. The top pic is a good example of the color difference. The silver bird on the left was male, the reddish/gold on the right female.

Ohhh okay I get it. Awesome! Cant wait to go outside tomorrow and find out how unlucky with roosters I got. Haha. Gosh yours look just like mine. Got any adult pics of them?

 

[donrae]

Not those birds, I sold them as juveniles. But my cross was a lot different than yours, so the adult colors would have been different anyway.

agree with donrae's post identifying breeds, etc.
