Hi there people of backyard chickens I was hoping that perhaps you could help me figure out the sex of these beautiful little babies and confirm the breed please, I was told they were black Orpingtons they do have white feathering in their wings, I was given them well sort of rescued them and I'm hoping they're not all roosters.

Yes they're Black Orpingtons. They're feathering out a normal speed for the breed. Give them a couple weeks to mature to determine gender :). None are screaming cockerel yet but also at this age both sexes look almost the same! Here's a pair of my pullets at five weeks! Speed of feathering is very similar so I wouldn't worry at all!
