Any idea on breed?

[Texashatching14]

Hi, i just got 5 chicks out of the assorted bantam bin at tractor supply. He said theyre about a week old. Any idea on breed? And when ill be able to tell gender ? Ill add a front and side view of each bird

 

[SillyChicken]

Cochin or Orphington (sp?)?

I'm thinking Cochin and Silkies, one looks like a frizzle.

Chicks #2 and #4 are silkies and the rest are cochins

You will be able to tell the gender of the cochins at 6-10 weeks... it takes the silkies a lot longer

 

[Gray Farms]

1.Buff Cochin
2.Buff Silkie
3.Salmon Favorelle
4.Buff Silkie
5.Black Cochin

At about 5-6 weeks you can sex the Cochins and the Favorelle. At about 5 month you should be able to sex the Silkies.

Silkies and cochins, not sure what variety of Cochin they are, you will have to wait till they are fully feathered out.

Either silkie, Cochin, or mix of both

Bird three has five toes. Ergo, either a mutant or not a cochin. x2, Gray farms. Probably a Faverolle.

2 and 4--black skin five toes. Silkies. Don't see much in the way of crests, though.

1 actually looks a bit like a d'uccle to me, but I've never raised them, so don't quote me on that.

5 looks like a cochin.
