Any ideas on breed?

[Amber.charlie]

hi,
I posted a while ago about gendering my chicks. After we rescused them.
We have since found forever homes for 4/5 of the cockerels.
The ones we have left we are planning to keep. But we have no idea what breed they are. We were told they were large fowl... but they have feathered feet... all but the cockerel? Who also seems a lot larger than the 3 hens... almost double their size.
They are now around 12 weeks old.
We are assuming they are cross breeds?
Photos are the best I could get.
But any guesses would be great thank you!

Cochin mixes. Great birds.

Yep I agree with @redranger209

Thank you!

No problem. Did you see the parents when you got the eggs?

 

[Amber.charlie]

Sadly not... we rescued them when they were 3 weeks old. So all we were told was they were large fowl. But We couldn’t work out why they had feathered feet.
Thanks for your help.

Crossbreds. Pullets are very likely Cochin bantam mixes.

thank you. I was hoping they weren’t going to turn out to be bantams.. but I did have a feeling they were.
Not the cockerel though? He was the only one of all 8 chicks that didn’t have feathered feet, and was always the largest.
Thanks for replying

The cockerel looks like a White Leghorn mix but he should have white earlobes.

I can't help you with the breed, but I can say that those are some mighty handsome birds! Yes, indeed.
