I was told that my girls would be all girls (one is now crowing...) and that I had specific breeds (looking around on here I am thinking I may have been led astray) Any and all guesses would be very appreciated.

This is Oreo, told that she was a girl and plymouth she is now crowing, lol.

this is Turkey, was told she is a RIR and I am thinking... um no...

this is frankenstein told she was a polish

this is Chuck Norris, told she was a girl and a silkie now I am thinking no to both, lol

and Peanut Butter, she was sold in a mixed lot of Bantams.

To me, Oreo looks to be a boy. Turkey in not a RIR. Not sure what she is, but kind of looks like speckled sussex. Frankenstein looks Polish. Not sure on the last two.

Barred rock cockerel.

Speckled sussex pullet.

Silver laced Polish pullet.

Houdan? cockerel?

RIR bantam and I'm fearful that it is also a cockerel.

Friends are the family you make for yourself.
There are no coincidences- only providences.

OH NO!!!!! That many boys? And really NOT Peanut Butter . She is the sweetest most loveable one of them all; well, next to Turkey. Ugh... well, time to do some re-homing I am afraid. I don't want any chances of fertilized eggs. I will post another picture of PB in a few weeks and keep my fingers crossed.
