Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock.
I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check.
The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one miiiight be a Plymouth Rock cross?
There are two gingers, a lighter (Speckle) and a darker (Stripe). Speckle is noticeably smaller than Stripe. As a chick, Stripe had a good strong stripe of dark on her back and eyes. Speckle did not.
Photos being dumped now.
4 Chicks, Day 3

Houdini. This one's comb and wattles have gone red and grown quickly - not a good sign but may possibly be breed dependent.
No sign of crowing or saddle feathers for anyone or any spurs yet at all.
Would love to hear everyone's sex and breed speculations. Thanks!
