i think you have done a good job guessing, breed and gender

I'm pretty sure that color has no name.

and now that i said that, i made the mistake of looking at the pics again. yes roo on the 2nd and the white one may be roo too.

first pics, i would have agreed to all pullets, but the 2nd SLW looks a little rooish now. not sure, but pretty sure it is a roo

it's a he maybe a partridge rock, not sure

thanks

I have four hens that are now 2 years old. they have laid nicely for a 18 months. but they never molted last fall, still haven't, and are beginning to look a little frayed featherwise and eggshell wise too. I suspect they need a break...

  these may be the prettiest chickens ever. the hens are extraordinairy

you cannot tell the age by the comb. the comb is an indicator of health and egg production. your hens look healthy and young. I have no trouble believing they are the age said, but couldn't really say.

should help with your temp. they are made to get damp, besides it is under the water proof pool. this along with a heat lamp they can get under should suffice.
