What breeds and genders are my babies??

[asokatonu]

So I have 5 2 1/2 week old chicks that I was given by a friend and I have know idea what they are or whether they are male or female any help would be great!

This little fella is Sweetpea and you can not really tell but she has quite the comb so she is probably a he

Then there is Eggbert also not seen in the pic the tips of his feathers are dark almost red brown

Then we have Moa who is actual a lot lighter in color

And then we have this little one who is jokingly called Dinner even though we have not intent of eating any of them

Last of all we have little Sir Francisco Renaldo Reginald the 3rd "Franny". Franny also has some white feathers in his wings but mostly black

Sorry if these photos are not good enough to really tell. Just let me know what kind of pics you need any info will help. THANKS!

I am gonna guess that number one is a cuckoo maran cockerel, I do not know any other barred breeds that can have feathered legs but I am sure there is some. Not sure what the rest are, last one looks like some sort of polish though.

They are a little to young to tell breed and gender right now, mostly (except for the ones I wrote below), so you can repost pictures of them at 8-10 weeks to make it a little easier.
Franny is a Polish, Moa is an Easter egger and Sweetpea is possibly a cuckoo marans.

Ok so Sweetpea and Dinner both have feathered legs so ill look into cuckoo maran cockerel and see what I can find. Also for the last one I think your right I believe that it might be either a black or blue white crested polish.

Ok ECSandCCFS thanks a lot ill make sure to send in picks at 8-10 weeks

Dinner doesn't look like a full Cuckoo Marans, however, he/she may be cross between a Marans and an EE. Could you post a pic of Dinner's comb?

So far from what you guys have said I fully agree after looking up pics of those chicks they definitely look like my chicks.

I think the one you call Dinner is a Barnevelder, I have one. The last pic is of some type of Polish, not sure what kind.

Do Barnevelders have feathered legs? (I'm not super familiar with them)

#1. May be a Cuckoo Marans, as long as the bottoms of its feet are the correct pink shade.
#2. Mixed breed
#3. Easter Egger
#4. Most likely another mixed breed, as Barnevelders and Partridge Rocks are clean-legged. Could we see a comb pic, please?
#5. White Crested Black Polish

They're still a bit young yet to guess genders on. Another 4 or so weeks will be a great time to update us if you get the chance!
