    Partridge Silkie

    I think it is probably a female but the comb seems big. Sometimes the black chest feathers come in later. I think it is a case of 'wait and see.'

    Bantam frizzle cochins - boys or girls?

    I think they are both cockerels, considering the size of the combs and wattles at 12 weeks.

    Satins 🫣 hen or roo?

    I think they are both females.

    Blue Paint Austra White?

    The hatcheries have a good idea of what the people breeding their chicks are doing, but they don't know or control everything. IDK, it looks blue paint to me. Doesn't look black paint or lavender paint.

    Amberlink labeled as pullet - 2 week

    Amberlinks are wing sexed, as you say. Whether the hatchery got it wrong is another question. I don't think there is enough to go on to say this chick will be a cockerel, but it bears watching.

    Blue Paint Austra White?

    The Austra white looks like blue paint to me. Which means her chicks would be half black and half blue when crossed with a black rooster. Half would carry the dominant white gene and be paint, and half would be solid black or blue. Which means 25% of your chicks should be blue paint in that...

    I could use some breed suggestions or a reality check.

    It's an impossibly tall order. Small, flighty breeds are generally not broody. Big, docile breeds generally are. As for intelligence, that's more of an individual trait. There's rarely a one size fits all with chickens.

    What breeds do you see here?

    The black, blue, brown and blue, and the white with a little orange are Easter eggers. The mostly red with a white tail is some type of red sex link. The thinner, longer white one is probably a Leghorn. The feather footed one is a light Brahma. One salmon Faverolles. The heavier white ones...

    What are they?

    The one in the middle is definitely an olive egger with that hairdo. The others could be Sapphire Gems or maybe blue copper Marans.

    Chick Mystery Box!

    The first and last one might be Egyptian Fayoumis. Either that or Easter eggers. The black and white one you thought might be a Houdan is probably a Lakenvelder. The buff/white one with the little floof on its head could be a really off buff laced Polish. I can think of nothing else that might...

    Bantam?

    They look like large fowl chicks to me. OEGBs would have white legs, not yellow, as those two do.

    Roo or hen? Black Sumatra

    I think it is too early. Between 3 and 4 months, male specific feathering should appear if it is indeed a male. This breed can be slow to develop.

    Any chance this Silkie is a cockerel?

    So far the comb says pullet. But you're right, it is early days yet.

    Buff Cochin Bantams

    Honestly, body conformation and fluffiness are a little lacking in both of them. But I think it is better in the darker one. That's the one I'd pick.

    Buff Cochin Bantams

    It's a balance between a rich color and evenness of color. Both are preferred.

    Barred Rock BSL mixup

    Sometimes it is the only option.

    Barred Rock BSL mixup

    He appears to be single barred, which means he is a BSL and not a barred rock. He also has some pure black in his tail feathers.

    4 week old lavender Orpington

    These can comb up early in both genders. More time is needed.

    Whats the best way to prottect chickens from goshawks

    Keeping them in a secured run is the only real way to protect from birds of prey. Even constant vigilance is not enough with free rangers because goshawks are very stealthy and can strike in the blink of an eye.

    Hen or rooster?

    I believe it is a pullet. Males tend to have darker hackle feathers and less even lacing on the back/shoulders.
