Yes, both of those are definitely cockerels. I have zero doubts.

I'm thinking it's a Green Queen bantam, which they list as having the possibility of feathered legs, and beards and muffs. Green Queen bantams are a hybrid I believe that lays green eggs, usually. It seems pretty far off in coloring for a millie fleur D'Uccle.

It looks pretty close to a Delaware, so that may be it. Probably a cockerel with that red comb so early. Clearer pictures would help.

Both look to be pullets to me.

They are both pullets. Whether they're purebred or not depends on the source. If from a hatchery or store, then I expect they're silver laced Wyandottes. If from a backyard breeder they could be SLW crosses.

They're both barred rocks. 1 just has imperfect coloring. We've seen barred rocks from at least one of the hatcheries like this for years now. I don't remember which it was. Probably at some point silver penciled Plymouth rocks accidentally crossed with barred rocks at one of the hatcheries...

They are both males. Maybe hatchery hybrids involving Marans or olive eggers.

Yes, I think it is a gold duckwing Phoenix. Whether bantam or large fowl, I couldn't say. Not sure which the hatchery offers.

I'd say a Brahma mix. One parent could be an Easter egger or olive egger. Very handsome boy.

You're welcome.

It could be a Starlight green egger, but also looks very much like a red sex link, of which there are many brands, such as golden comets.

Okay, that makes sense. I think it is a black copper Marans, but it has what we call "failure to thrive". Why exactly its development is so far behind is difficult to say, but it is probably a physical health issue. It may yet turn out normal as an adult, but it will need tlc. Make sure it is...

First off, where did you get them from? Hatchery, farm store or backyard breeder?

I could be. Kind of looks like it is getting the little crest feathers to me, but that could be an illusion. Many Easter eggers nowadays are made by crossing Legbars and Welsumers, so that's why I guessed Easter egger. Time will tell.

It's really tough to say unless you know from the seller. He has white legs, but I do think he is an American gamefowl of some type rather than old English game. The comb is intermediate between single comb and pea comb, so he may be a mix of different strains of American gamefowl. He's a nice...

I think that would help. Chickens tend to be much more aggressive with each other when space is a problem. Yet another thing I forgot to mention is that it is a good idea to give the young ones places where they can escape to when they're being bullied. Things they can hide behind and not be...

I forgot to add that the coop is probably too small for that many birds. 3 to 5 square feet is the minimum recommended amount. If I were you, I would either make it bigger or sell some of your birds.

Yeah, the gold one doesn't look to have barring on the feathers. Looks more like an Easter egger or olive egger to me than a Legbar.

If possible, divide up the coop and run for a while so they can see but not hurt each other. Honestly, I think the older hens are going to be overwhelmed by that number of new birds, so it's going to be chaos no matter what you do. It's going to be stressful for the birds and you can expect...

I think that's a myth, myself. They are individuals and carry themselves and act differently according to personality.
