I'm pretty sure I've got a pair of Silver Phoenix and 3 blue laced red wyandottes. At first it looked like all three were pullets but now it looks like 2 are cockerels. Thanks for any help

I have had something going on in my flock this fall. First I had my 8 month old australorp rooster show these symptoms:

Ordered eggs from Murray McMurray and now have 18 fluffy butts!! I know for sure I have a turken ( pretty obvious lol) and a light brahma. Everything else is well up in the air. Here are some pics

1. Farm innovators model 4200 pro series circulated air incubator with automatic egg turner.
2. Sanven Janoel 48 Eggs Digital Automatic Turner Incubator Hatcher
Any suggestions.
