Hatching

I incubated eggs and I thought I was going to be able to actually keep up with which chicks hatched out of which eggs 😂 It did NOT work. Some I am pretty certain of but others I am not. My flock consists of Australorp Roo and EE/Red Sex Link/New Hampshire Red/Delaware. I am certain on the one I have labeled EE/Australorp because it was my first hatchling and the only EE egg of my flock that hatched. I also bought some eggs from a lady who has an Olive Egger Roo and Welsummer/OO/EE/Cinnamon Queen/Lavender Orpington hens. If anyone has a better idea of what some of these chicks may be, please help!! Also, I am trying to figure out how many are roosters and how many are hens. I have some friends who are wanting to add to my flock and I am trying to get an idea before I start promising chickens to people. THANK YOU!!

Hello! You might get more responses if you post the pictures here, instead of using a link.

If anyone has a better idea of what some of these chicks may be, please help!!
They are backyard mutts, and that's fine.
Also, I am trying to figure out how many are roosters and how many are hens.
There will be no way to tell for several weeks.
 
1 probably female
3 male
4 male
8 not sure
5 not sure
2 a little too young to tell
6 male
9 male
11 probably male.
7 male
13 female
10 not sure
12 probably female
14 probably male

I think you have a lot of males there.

As for the mixes, it's tough to say, but since your rooster is a black Australorp, all barred/cuckoo chicks from him will have a barred mother and they will be male, due to sex link properties with the barring gene.
 
Thanks for attaching pics. I'm with Sally, I don't click on links so I saw your posting but didn't have anything to comment. It looks like you have a lot of boys. I counted 7 cockerels.

The one you labeled "Welsummer?" is not one. I'd guess that's one of your EE mixes. He's a cockerel too judging by his colors.
