Hi! Can anyone help me with what breeds I have please? We bought all our chickens in March at the same time at TSC. We got 2 white leghorns, 2 bantams, and then 4 of another that I really can’t remember lol. The kid at the store kept calling them pullets so I thought that was the breed (oh boy was I clueless). My 2 bantams turned out to be roosters, then three chicks turned out the same color just with varying degrees of copper. Jimmie has been completely different from the start. I’ve tried looking at pics to determine the breeds but I just can’t figure them out because there’s conflicting names. Thanks everyone!

You have a gorgeous Easter Egger pullet. Omg, she's pretty!
a Gold Laced Wyandotte (with a single comb) cockerel
Not sure what the other two are, but yes, they're cockerels too.

I think your only pullet is Jimmie.

ETA I think Ernie is a seabright cockerel, with an incorrect comb.

Bert and Ernie are the only ones crowing and the only ones with a curly tail. The comb doesn’t make them males does it?
 
He would also have incorrect feathering, which is why I wasn't sure on what he was :)

His comb is all wonky and I’ve seen two different types of bird that he could be, but they say “incorrect” so I didn’t know what that meant. Maybe he’s a mutt?
 
He could be a mutt. Sebright roosters are supposed to have rose combs and are hen feathered, like this guy.
ETA the image won't show up, so just google sebright rooster and you will see what I mean
 
Single comb is just a type. The Wyandotte and the seabright both have 'incorrect' combs for the breed. They should both have rose combs.

eta: Wyandottes are sometimes bred with single combed breeds to keep egg production up, so sometimes they crop up. It just means that its not a show quality bird. For the seabright, I'm not sure where that single comb comes from.
 
Jimmie- Easter egger pullet
Copper- Gold laced Wyandotte pullet
Bert- Silver duckwing Old English game bantam cockerel.
Ernie- Golden Sebright cockerel.

Previous posts are correct. Gold laced Wyandottes should have rose combs and yours has a single comb. That happens sometimes, especially from hatchery chicks. The Sebright also is unusual in having male feathering, but again, it happens, especially with hatchery birds.
