I'd appreciate any guestimates on these guys. Supposedly all pullets

Thanks!

No obvious cockerels yet

Indeed. Definitely a Cornish, perhaps Cornish/Rock mix; in either case, it is indeed a broiler.

Cornish are not broilers, they are a true breed. Cornish Cross, Cornish Rock, and Cornish X are all different names for white hybrid broilers.

Again, newby. Somebody called these two red frizzled cochins (?) and said they will have to be separated so they do not mate. True? If so, why?

Okay, then, I am officially needing to read up on my meat bird notes before I go to state poultry judging.
Sorry, scollier! And, thanks, junebugga!

Almost undoubtedly cockerel, but boy is he handsome!

ugh that's what I thought. I have to get rid of one but I can't decide which one. This one is definitely the handsomest, but the most skittish. Ugh it's so hard.

Updated pics at 8-9 weeks. What do you all think? Still pullets? Thanks!

Ok. Got better pics of my Lacy. She (he?) is 6-7 weeks old.

. Anybody know if I need to change her name to Larry?

No. Cochins have feathered feet and frizzled means there feathers are growing away from the body.

So, "no" on both accounts? Not frizzled and not cochins? Can they stay together? They are the sweetest birds. We've had them for 2 days and already prefer these two over all the others.
