I posted yesterday and found out one of my 6 week old chicks may be a male! Eek! Made me wonder if you guys had guesses of gender and confirmation of breed of my other chicks. Here's the breed I was told they are:

Pics 1&2- Barred Rock (Bertha)
Pics 3&4- Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte (Pumpkin)
Pics 5&6- Olive Egger (Blueberry)
Pcs 7&8- Easter Egger (Petunia)
Pics 9&10- Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte (Cinnamon)
Pics 11&12- Olive Egger (Blackberry)
Pics 13&14- Silver Laced Wyandotte (Lacy)
Pics 15&16- Silver Laced Wyandotte (Sage)

Thanks! Fingers crossed they're pullets! But again, was told my EE was a male :( What do you guys think!?

Sorry, did the best I could getting pics. As much as I love them, they are still terrified of me! Only my Barred Rock will hop on my lap and fall asleep as soon as I sit down in there with them.

I am suspicious of the blue laced gold wyandottes because I bought them at a local feed store but heard they were very rare...
I think I'm seeing "Black Laced Gold," (commonly called Gold Laced.)

If someone breeds two Blue Laced Gold chickens, they will get some chicks with blue lacing, some with black lacing, and some with splash lacing. So you might have bought some of the ones with black lacing.

The breeds you have listed seem right for the chickens you have pictured, apart from black vs. blue lacing on those two Wyandottes.

Thanks! That makes sense. Do they look female or male to you?
