I don't know the breed, but I would say one pullet and the rest roos.

Oh my, I don't recognize the breed, but I do think this looks like a whole room full of roos with only one pullet.  Where did you get them?  Maybe they switched your order if you were supposed to have all pullets?

We have a dozen different breeds of chickens and we love them all!
