The first one looks like a White Rock but White Rock's don't have pink shanks. 

The last one looks like the common Easter Egger, though since he's a roo, there's going to be no Easter eggs. 

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

1st one looks like a Splash Orpington mix (pinkish blue legs, splash coloring, single comb), 2nd one looks like a Birchin and Black Copper Marans mix (single comb, coloring, pink and feathered legs), 3rd Rooster looks like a Light Brahma and EE mix (pea comb, coloring, yellow legs, beard/muffs, coloring). Good looking guys thumbsup.gif

They all look like mixes to me. If you have no idea the origin, it is very likely they are just very pretty boys resulting from whomever happened to be rooming together at the time.

 

It would help to know what color eggs their female offspring lay.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

Barnyard mix.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!
