I bought these from a breeder and he gave me an assortment. The only thing they told me the breed was the Dominiques. They don't look like dominiques to me. They look like barred rocks because they don't have a rose comb. The other chicks I have no idea what they are.

thank you so much!! I knew the barred rocks weren't dominiques. But they'll be loved just as much as the others and you're for sure the red ones are pullets? One of them tries to fight with my fingrr like young roosters would.

prod reds will be pullets as they are sex link but im not 100% sure they are prods

they could be New Hampshire's (then I would say they can turn out either or)

although 5 does look rooish
 
that'll make 6 roos...are the others girls?
if the rumples have pea comb then will be hard to sex this early

as for the BPR the feathers will be a good indicator when the grow in

dark grey/black barring is pullet and light great wide barring is cockerel

BPR 1 im undecided on being a roo but think it is

BPR 2 looks like pullet as long as comb doesn't grow anymore than it is
