1 & 5 roosters, 2 & 4 pullets... can't see #3 well, but suspect a male... looks like primary sickle feathers are getting longer and curved. Does he have saddle feathers coming in more pointed??? Pullets do not have saddle feathers like a male.. just sorta flows right into the tail. Males have decided pointed saddle feathers directly in front of the tail base.... Except for Sebrights... they are what we call hen feathered... males and females feathered the same...
So what are these chicks? Americauna? Pretty colored....
They're just mutts.
Dad is Christopher Owen, Mom could be anyone, but I suspect Mama Wendy may have laid most of the eggs.
Both are in the videos I posted earlier about the chick's first snow. When one runs right over top of another, Christopher Owen & Mama Wendy walk past them.

Left work early. Did not want to be out after dark.
Looks like the snow may be done, temps into the mid 20's overnight.
Might use that 1 last personal day tomorrow......
