This is my first time having bantams and none of my big girls have ever laid 7 days in a row.

I would love feed back on age and breed if anyone can help. I took a picture a couple of weeks ago and posted about the breed, but these are better pictures. Thanks in advance :)
Hi! New chicken owner here. I would really like to know what breeds we have and how to tell if it is a rooster. We were told the top 3 are hens and the bottom one is a rooster. Thanks for any info!
