What colours have I got?

Hoping they are hens. Super adorable.

The bottom two adults are left- wild pattern hen, right - red breasted hen I believe. I have never seen wild pattern buttons first hand, but I’m thinking those head stripes indicate wild pattern on some of the chicks. The front chick in pic one looks red breasted, the back one maybe wild pattern. In my darth Vaders, the darker chicks tend to be hens, and they get lighter with age, and the lighter chicks are often males and darken with age. But there are always some that fall in the middle and leave me guessing.

Thanks for your evaluation. I thought left teenager/back chick was maybe golden pearl on hatch as they were so much lighter than my wild type chick last time but he was also a boy. I think they are just regular wild type and was leaning towards hen as well. The other one (right teenager, front chick) I thought was a dark vader, but so am now thinking red breasted also from Google. They’re just under 3 weeks old so who knows there may be another change over the next 3 weeks. Like you described my cinnamon roo was really light and caramel
coloured until about 4 weeks, then he became really striking darker brown and red with white wingtips in the space of about a week. It’s interesting watching how much they change in a short space of time. Thanks again.

I am hoping I might be able to introduce the boys to them but it would have to be gradual and under the absolute strictest supervision with partitions and extra cages on standby when they’re grow up because I am aware the ratio of males to females is not ideal and the boys are bonded to eachother at present. Worst case scenario I will remove/rehome the cinnamon roo and let the wild one have two girlfriends.
