What breed and gender are my chicks?

[Frazzemrat1]

Here are some recent photos. Any guesses on breeds on the brown or grey one? Any guesses on sex?

You can see some shine in the above picture, which female SLW usually never have.

I’ve never known black feathers to not sheen, no matter what gender. My black ameraucana mix sheens green and she lays.

Oh alright, I just think it’s uncommon for SLW.

My GLW's lacing always sheened, in the right conditions. So does the black spots on my Silver Spangled Hamburg, and her gold counterpart.

Okay thanks. I still think his a male due to his bumpy comb, slow feather growth and thick legs.

UPDATE: Hey everyone, the mum has now abandoned them and they’re living solo. She laid and egg and began to attack them and they stopped eating and drinking as she wouldn’t let them, she joined the main flock. I’ve take some new close up photos to help determine the breeds of the brown and greyish one, which is why I created this thread, as well as to help me sex them. I think I have 3 cockerels; australorp, SLW and light Sussex. I think the two I’m unsure of the breeds may be pullets. What do you guys think?

They’re too young to sex. Post back in 3 weeks.

Same with breed ID really. It’s hard to tell what breed or mix as they don’t have their adult feathers in. The black with white stripes in it’s wings could be a Wyandotte. And with the combs, it seems (except the Australorp) that they’re likely all mixes, with a possible Wyandotte parent.

Hi, it’s been 3 weeks now. What do you think about sex and breed id for the brown and greyish one?

I think they’re Wyandotte mixes. They’re pullets. I also think the LS mix could be a pullet.

Hopefully! Thank you.

I found these on BYC. It’s a SLW cross Australorp. Do you guys think this could be the one I have?
