I'm a new member here and have posted a few threads already, all of which I have gotten great advice and information from. I am having a lot of trouble figuring out what breed some of my chickens are. Also, if comb development is something that I can lean on for determining sex (looking like a lot of these have bigger, pinker combs).
I'm a new owner to twenty chickens (supposed to split order, person backed out after recieving the chicks). Extra males will be processed but will be keeping 1, maybe 2 depending on temperament. All chickens have a very large coop and run, eventually will free range on our 10 acres. All chickens are currently 5 weeks old and these pictures were taken today.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get determining the breed, even sex if you have any guesses! I will attach numbered pictures with guessed breed and sex, also any details that aren't clearly pictured!
1.) White Wyandottes- a cockeral and a pullet? Both have rose combs, but one is significantly smaller, that's why I'm guessing pullet.
2.) This mystery guy (obviously a cockeral, right?) He has a brother that looks exactly like him.
3.) Easter eggers? They are all fairly big, greenish legs, bigger combs.
(The white one next to the brown in this photo) this guy has a single comb through, so not sure?
4.) I have no idea what these ones are. They're smaller, brown, one has a giant comb (pictured next to one of my BSL boys) and the others have smaller combs (next to the Easter egger??)
5.) Buff Orpington? Comb isn't showing much pink yet, white feet.
6.) This feather-footed mystery. I'm not familiar with all the different "fluffy" breeds! Looks pullet-ish so far.
