Here are a few more pictures of the chicks. They wouldnt sit still because of the camera flash.
Its kind of hard to tell these two apart but Sunny is the one with hardly any black on her beak and Yolka is the one with a lot of black.

The two black w/splotches of light look like australorps to me. The one that has quite a bit of comb development I'd suspect is a roo. But maybe it's the lighting??? Is the one's comb already turning a tiny bit pinkish, or is it still yellow??? The one reddish chick I'd bet money is a roo - LOTS of pinkish comb (or once again, maybe the lighting?).

Sunny (the reddish one) was always the biggest so I always figured she was older. Now sunny isnt the biggest they are all pretty much the same size. How old are the chicks when they usually arrive at TSC? All of the chicks have light pink combs except for the 2 brown ones with furry feet their combs are orange but theirs havent really developed as much as all the other ones. When do they start going cocka doodle doo?

To answer the question about grit and oyster shell. Grit is needed when they start getting food that needs "chewing" such as grains or grasses. As long as they are on chick feed they can wait, unless you are feeding treats. Oyster shell can be put out when they are about ready to lay, when their faces are getting nice and red, also about the time you switch them to layer feed.
You may hear crowing anytime, my last batch of babies started at 3 weeks, didn't sound much like a crow, but the little guy just stretched his neck out when he tried. Chicks voices change anytime around 4 weeks or so. It is so funny, they will be cheeping away and one day a Bok! comes out and they scare themselves. They tend to get quiet for a while until they realize they are making that noise and it is ok. Voice changing occurs about the time they get the 'uglies'.

Thanks for answering my question. I have only given them one treat wich was a little bit of corn that I made into mush. Do you think they will be ok since they didnt get any grit after that?

2 Dark Brahma pullets (feather legged chickens). They are not roosters, you can tell by their coloring. Dark Brahmas should more accurately be called Silver Penciled Brahmas, as Silver Penciled is actually their feather color. Silver Penciled males develop black breasts, white wrings, and really have almost no penciling. Your Brahmas look nothing like roosters.

The two black chicks look like black Australorp pullets.

The Red chick appears to be a production red of sorts, and looks like a rooster.

x2 both of the reds look like cockerels
