We are very new to chickens and got these 8 from my sons classroom. Not positive on the breeds for the black ones but guessing Black Australorp. Was told the cream legbar chickens were definitely hens based on their coloring and that the white zombie was also a hen but want to make sure. Our first batch of classroom chickens turned out to be 3 cockerels out of 4 chickens so hoping our luck isn't too bad again.

None of them are screaming cockerel to me right now! I would say that most if not all are pullets. Disclaimer - I have mostly silkies so I definitely could be wrong 😂 Cute batch of chicks!

All look like pullets...
Also...#2 looks like a Cuckoo Marans or mix
#4 and #5 are Marans or mixes.

All 3 of these have feathered shanks/feet. 🙂
