The father to all of these is a mix of ameraucana and wyandotte (Colin, if anyone remembers him :) He's a lil brat, but he's doing quite well). There are three pure-bred mothers of different breeds.

The two black ones, Gusta and Big Black, have a black copper maran mother. Big Black is already mounting the hens, so that's obvious, and Gusta is almost certainly a pullet since she has the smallest comb of all the chicks and is the least aggressive.




The next one, Soma Plume, I suspect may be a roo as well. Mother is gold-laced wyandotte. This one is a bit aggressive and flighty like his dad, and separates him/herself somewhat from the rest.





Next one, OwlFowl, is also from the gold-laced wyandotte. This one is more mild-mannered.




The last two are unnamed so far, and are both from a RIR mom. We'll call them Red and White. The only major different between these two is their tail feathers. White has longer, greenish feathers coming from the sides of his/her tail, while Red has tail feathers of pretty equal lengths. White's comb is only marginally larger than Red's. They are BFF's <3.
Here's Red.



Here's White.

You sure won the cockerel lottery! I also only see one pullet, the rest are all boys. They're sure going to be pretty--I love the barnyard mix.
