Abandoned chickens -- what breed?

[ChellyW]

Hello everyone,
This is my first posting. I've been raising chickens about 2 years. I started with a couple of white leghorns, a couple buff Orpingtons, and a couple Americaunas.

About 16 weeks ago, someone left a box of chicks on my front porch. At 12 weeks I gave 3 to my daughter's school, and kept 2. Can anyone tell me what breed they are and if they look like roosters? I think I may see some saddle feathers but not sure.

Many thanks.
Chelly

Nope, they are primarily white with varying amounts of red depending upon the cross.

They are starting to get little flecks of black in the tail and neck feathers. Doesn't show up very well in the photos.
