what sex and breed?

[irenew]

Hi
Can anyone tell me the sex of these babies and breed(mixed)


I think it is a lavender araucanca maybe cross. Is it a boy or girl? I detect a slight colouring to the comb area but nothing hugely obvious.

I'm pretty sure this ones a boy. Just look at his huge legs and he has pink on his comb. I think he came out a blue egg, so part araucana

there are two off these chicks. They were born yellow with a orange head. They have feathered legs and 5 toes. They had different comb nubs at birth so one looked more like a girl. I think this is a girl

I think this is a boy

This is another from a blue egg. I think it may be a girl. It's comb has grown a wee bit but is dark, uncoloured.

And they are about 4 weeks old

idk, but they are really pretty...

I think you have got about 3 roosters their good luck with them

Two of them have really big tree trunk legs...I would think roo on them. Hard to determine on just the comb, they can fool you. Watch for saddle and hackle feathers, that seems to be the most definitive way to determine before they start crowing, anyway. You might have to wait a bit longer to decide.

Thanks

It's good to know in advance what are the roos so we don't get to attached to them-we are only allowed to keep hens in the city. The black one with the enormous legs is soooo rooish looking, more so than the RIR I raised previosly,and I do think that one of the yellow coloured is a boy too. The others I'm not so sure. And don't they try to surprise by all turning into roos-not funny at all.

That second picture makes you understand how birds could have developed from dinosaurs. Wow, those feet!

I would say #1 is a girl.

I've got bad news for you, my guess is the others are roos. #2 is all boy! Wow!

In my limited experience, I have found it becomes more obvious what gender they are at about 5 weeks. They change so fast the first 2 months. Even on "pure" breds there can be variations on combs among pullets. This will be even more challenging to pin down with mixed birds. Wattles seem to sprout (on breeds who have them) and posture changes to upright. Not long after the boys GROW!

They are all very pretty. Best of luck and Merry Christmas!
