This is my first flock and I have 10x chicks that are almost 6 weeks old that I hatched at home. I want to start guessing how many hens I'll have and of which breed so I know if I want to look into getting spring chicks (I want a good variety). Any feedback would be great especially since there are varying breeds and I have read each one seems to show differing degrees of sexual dimorphism and grow at different rates. Any info is appreciated and I know #9/#10 photos aren't great...they stopped wanting to stand still. Thanks!
#1 - Blue egg sold as Ameraucana but may be EE
#2 - Blue egg sold as Ameraucana. Biggest bird by quite a bit, also friendliest
#3 - Jubilee Orpington, smallest chick
#4 - blue laced red Wyandotte, calmest chick
#5 - blue laced red Wyandotte
#6 - Black copper maran
#7 - Olive Egger (maran/ameraucana). Suspect cockerel, only one with red comb, no tail feathers, really slow to feather out, a bit of a jerk, stretches neck a lot
#8 - black copper maran
#9 - black copper maran
#10 - olive egger
