7 week old chickens in Turkey

[jahya0]

Our flock, 7 weeks old. Leghorn or other variety? We are new to chickens so I have no idea. All but one has a floppy crest. (Gotta keep them inside at night, there's a fox in the neighnorhood.)

I'm hoping we have at least 1 hen out of the five. Thoughts?

Are you sure that are 7 weeks old? If so those are definitely cockerels, and they have HUGE combs. Not sure on breed as I’m not an expert.

I'm not an expert either, but based on lots of photos I've looked at, my first thought is Jersey Giant. Definitely a couple cockerels, if not all..

We bought them 7 weeks ago tomorrow. They were all fluff, no real feathers. Maybe 3 or 4 inches tall. Started getting wing feathers about a week later. The combs started appearing about 2 weeks after we got them.

They're maybe half as tall as the full grown chickens we see locally. Definitely no where near full size. They've grown extremely fast, IMO.

At that age they have to be all cockerels.
I raise leghorns and my cockerels don't have combs that big at 7 weeks.
I'd say they are leghorns and probably a high production type of strain.

Maybe white Lohmann, like these guys?

Yeah, those look very similar!

Oh, well in that case then definitely all cockerels, sorry

Even if it is that breed, the pullets don’t get combs that red and large until close to lay.
