    Light Brahma slower feathering than Orpington?

    It just means you have a slower developing individual. Buff Orpingtons are quicker at developing, but I think this Brahma is slower than the usual. That doesn't mean it is a cockerel, though. Time will tell.

    Help me gender these 5-7 week old chicks

    To me they both look to be females.

    Splash or Buff white laced Wyandottes?

    Splash laced. A breeder would most likely know if they had buff laced Wyandottes since they are very rare.

    4mo Old Silkie Bantams - Any guess on gender?

    They look to be females, but check comb size. Males would probably have crowed by 4 months. Females may wait until spring to lay.

    What gender are these Indio Gigante?

    There may be some kind of trick to telling the sex of this breed early, but if so I don't know it. I suspect you'll have to wait until 6+ weeks to get a good idea. These are mixed colors, so that makes it more complicated, too. Watch comb development and color.

    Frizzle silkie rooster or hen?

    It doesn't have silkie feathers-- they are smooth and frizzled. This seems likely to be a hybrid between Silkie and frizzled Cochin bantam. Too early to tell gender. Keep an eye on the comb. It should stay small for the next few weeks if the chick is a female.

    Not blue marans, so what could they be?

    From the website, I think there are only 3 possibilities. Blue Copper Marans, hatchery quality. Blue Australorp. Already mentioned. Blue Star. These are a hybrid between Andalusian male and barred rock female. I think this is a strong possibility. Blue is a dilution of black, and the color...

    I think these look like CCL pullets, please tell me I’m right

    They are both pullets. I think the first one is a pure CCL, but the second has green legs and no crest. I think that one must be a mix.

    Not blue marans, so what could they be?

    Maybe Orpington or Australorps.

    12 week old pullet or roo?

    It's probably going to take a while longer to know with this one. I don't see any male specific feathering, but the comb and wattles are pretty big for that age. If I had to guess, I'd vote cockerel.

    Pullet or cockerel? mottled silkie 4-5weeks

    It's too young to know for sure, but I am guessing cockerel because of the pink color of the comb.

    Australorp chick or something else?

    Australorp is my guess.

    Hen or Roo?

    Yes, those are cockerels.

    I ordered some hens from a breeder and got a couple of "surprise" hens. Idk what breed this is!

    When they're sold by single color varieties then you can be sure they are true Ameraucanas, and not Easter eggers. Cackle has quite a few color varieties. I was surprised to see buff Ameraucana since those aren't very common.
