As far as space goes, I think you'll be okay for another couple of weeks. But then you should move them to a bigger space. As far as the heating plate goes, I would probably leave it the way it is for a while longer, until some of the smaller chicks get more feathering.

The comb/wattles are pretty well developed for that age, but not to the point where I'd say it's for sure a male. I think this one will simply take more time than most to tell.

You have no Wyandottes or Brahmas, so they must have substituted other breeds. 1 is probably an Easter egger 2 is the Leghorn 3 I'm thinking it's another Easter egger, but could be a brown Leghorn or Welsumer. That color pattern is pretty common. 4 olive egger 5 Hmmm, the feet look yellow...

I'm pretty sure they're gold laced Cochin bantams.

She's a pretty hen. Whether she's a JG or not, I wouldn't use her for breeding purposes because, as you already stated, she's way under weight, and she also doesn't fit the standard for Jerseys in other ways, such as the long, high carried tail. I'm sure she'll make a great pet and laying hen.

It's difficult to tell olive eggers and Easter eggers apart. They're both hybrids, the only difference being the OEs should have the dark egg gene plus the blue egg gene, whereas Easter eggers can lay any color, really, but often blue or green. In the picture, the blue one in from is a cockerel...

Perhaps black Swedish or Cayugas. It would help to see their chests. Swedish will have more yellow or white in that area than Cayugas.

If it is 8 weeks old, then probably a male with comb and wattles of that size. It does look like a cuckoo Marans cross, maybe with one of those Legbar type Easter eggers with the little crests.

There are two types of cinommon queens. Both are sex links. This type is a red rooster over a silver laced Wyandotte hen, so they look different from other types of red sex links.

It's a cinnamon queen hen, as labeled in the picture.

Yes. I am not sure if it works the same in lavenders, since they are a newish variety. May again be a case of wait and see.

This is a question that would probably get answered more quickly on this forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/exhibition-genetics-breeding-to-the-sop.16188/ Maybe @NatJ can help.

Laced Wyandottes often get large, colorful combs early, even in the females. So in the case of this breed I wouldn't go by that alone. I would wait another few weeks before deciding. The thing to watch is the evenness of the lacing on the back and shoulders. Females will be more even in that way...

It could be an Easter egger of some type. Maybe Whiting True blue or Prairie Bluebell egger. It's not a purebred Ameraucana.

EE is short for Easter egger, of which there are several types.

1, 2, 3 are males 4, the silver Polish looks male to me, too, but give it time 5, Sulmtaler, male 7, hmmm, too early to tell though I expect it's another male 8 looks rather off for a Wheaten Marans, but if it is one, then male. 9 too close to call but I suspect it's another male 10 not...

It looks close to a male Bielefelder, but the dark legs don't fit. Maybe an olive egger, Maybe an olive egger? I'm not entirely sure, but I've never seen a barred Whiting, and this one will be barred since it has the head spot.

I'm thinking they're Smokey Pearls, one of the hatchery hybrids.

It might be a silver pencilled Plymouth rock. It doesn't match perfectly, but pretty close. Either that or some type of Easter egger.

Some chicks feather in more slowly than others. It doesn't mean they are ill or that they are male. It's just natural variation. I've never heard of buff Brahmas being auto-sexing. Males will get larger and more colorful combs before 12 weeks in most cases, and in buffs, males to have deeper...
