I think it looks approximately 60/40 boys to girls? And yeah, it's more obvious than ever that the black one isn't a Wyandotte. I'm so sad about that, when I first saw the black one pop up, before I paid attention to type, I had a moment of glee. Black standard Wyandottes are so few and far between, and you could do so much with just one misbred black...
But the rest are looking GREAT!

Luckily there is 24, so not too worried about the split, I only need about 6-8 replacement pullets, if there are any extras I can put together a very nice trio for somebody, it has been years since I have been able to sell any Columbians.

Little update on my beauties.....and the Black one for Jan
The yellow legs are starting to come thru and the type (not great) is starting to look like the blacks from the other batch.
and the Black one , starting to look like with a little patience is going to turn out a Wyandotte after all, possibly single comb.

She is certainly hard to miss, looks like it may be single comb.
