I have some chickens that we don't know what sex they are and breed.
First I think is a male porcelain d'Uccle.

second one i think is a male too.....i hope not. sorry it's blurry he moves super fast so it's hard to get a pic. he's hyper.

third, not sure the sex but i think a RIR.

here's another one with the third one and three others I'm unsure about too.

The first one is definately a porcelan d'uccle. second one doesnt look like a rooster, but i think it may be a silver laced wyandotte. The dark browns are rirs, the lighter brown is a gold comet, and the white one with the big crest im going to say white leghorn roo. they are infamous for huge crests and loud crows!

#1 is Booted Bantam boy -not D'Uccle because dos not have beard #2 isSilver Spangled Hamburg boy #3 Rhode Island On last picture with Rhode Island you have White Leghorn boy,Red (Golden) Sex Link girl and a Meatie
 
yeah, number two has clean legs. but he's from the assorted bantam bin at TSC can wyandotte be bantams.
and as for the porclain one i read d'uccles can be bearded and non-bearded.
is the rhode island red a boy like i think?
And is the first one male? or are all ones like him flighty?

thanks all.

Actually, D'Uccles have to have a beard to fit their standard. ''D'Uccle'', refers to the belgian bearded D'Uccle. I've never heard of a belgian bearded D'Uccle that wasn't bearded

. A booted bantam is the same thing, but without a beard.

oh! OK, then. now i just need the sexes. ^^ oh and if my big hen is a meat or boiler bird. If we don't kill her will she live a good life? We didn't want meat birds, my mom doesn't believe in killing pets and she sees the chickens as pets. I'm abit worried because i heard they don't live long enough to even make it to laying age.
 
1# Male Porcelain D'uccle
2# silver laced sebright, or cochin maybe?? I don't think that bird is Spangled
