Any guesses on these beautiful chickens given to me ???

Depends. Can you keep a rooster where you live? So you have a pre-existing older rooster? Are you using your flock for eggs, meat, or pets who lay eggs? Or are you hoping to use them for showing birds?

We have just had layers and turkeys, we have just finished 3 more coops and about 1/2 acre paadocks fenced and divided into 6 paddocks. So now we are expanding into more layers with a rooster, wyndottes and brahmas with roosters, we have pure bred wyndotte and brahmas roosters to go with our approx 25 hens purebred. i currently do not have a rooster for the layers, our layers are rhode island reds and now these beauties, Does my layers need a purebred rooster or can one of this cockerels be their rooster ? we have 22 rhodes 13 months old and now the 20 or so mixed chicks pictured above

Unless you want them for breeding, then you can definitely use one of these cockerels.

Hi All,
we were given a assortment of eggs by a friend who did not know what type of chickens they were. we incubated them and had wonderful hatch rate of 22 out of 24 . Now they are about 8 weeks old and I am hoping that you all can give me some ideas to what this pretty birds are. we were not really wanting to increase our egg flock but they are all so beautiful they are all staying, i am not posting all of the pictures for there are a few i can reconize ie cochins and Brahmas. please give me your best guesses The last 2 pics are our ridley bronze hertiage turkeys. Oh my goodness if you all dont have turkeys you must get some, they are hilarous, the little thoms will already try to puff up and charge you. so much fun

The black and white ones look like either silver laced Wyandotte’s or Wyandotte cockerel. They both look female to me I had some not too long ago right about that age too here is the pictures.
