Who's the daddy ?

[2chookchooks]

Who is good at genetics?
Looking for help to try and identify the dad or dads ( and their breed or main cross) of my two chicks .

And also the chicks sex if possible, individual photos of the chicks taken today . Luna is 18 days (4 toes) , Mardi (frizzle,5 toes ) is 17 days old

Way too young to sex the chicks...
As for guesses for the fathers, I'll leave that to others, but I think that for the most part all anybody will be able to do is guess.

Like what Frazzemrat1 said, Too young to tell. But may I ask how many roosters you have and how many hens?

I can’t offer any help with genetics, but you have the cutest flock ever!!! Oh my goodness, they’re just adorable!

They are at the local rescue farm

So Mardi has spunk and recons 18 days is the perfect time to start crowing . Watch the video here https://instagram.com/p/BebN1rXhHLa/

Regarding the flock size . I only have my white silkie and the two chicks . The parent flock where the eggs/chicks came from is out at the local rescue farm , numbers of hen and roos fluctuates. Hen often get adopted but roosters don't

I can't tell by the pictures... does the mom have grey or green legs? If not then the dad has to be the grey legged roo.

Parents aren't my birds mums legs are darkish but not sure of the colour . She only has 4 toes but . The little dark chick started crowing this morning, so he's a roo. He's got 5 toes so would his dad be a silkie ?

The green legged chick looks like silkie dad because of his crest.

Not an expert in genetics but I'm guessing 3 for the first. The tiny crest on her head suggests silkie to me.
