this is a shelter chicken i keep checkin' on (that is i keep checking the computer to see if it's still at the shelter).

any thoughts as to what kind of chicken this might be and if it is a roo or a hen? the shelter says "roo" but they are frequently wrong about the birds in their care in general.

and hey, while we're at it, what about this 'un?

I'm no expert but the first looks like a buff orpington and I couldn't see the saddle or tail feathers to positively identify the gender of any of these birds.

The second looks like a dominique roo maybe...

The third is a frizzle.
 
The first one looks like the picture of the chicken that I had in question as to the gender. Mine is a buff orphinton RIR and OEGB cross. The father was a mix but I would definatly say that it has some orphington in it. Not to sure on the gender but it does look like a roo.
The second definatly a roo.
I think the third is a hen.
 
I vote 3 roosters. The first one is not a Buff Orp, at least, not a pure one. There is some definite barring/crele coloration going on there. The second is possible a Dominique or a cross of one. The third is some kind of frizzle.
 
No clue on the third but the first is a roo, he looks like some sort barred breed crossed with a buff something.

The second is a roo, he's a dominique crossed with something. His comb is wrong to be pure Dominique, he should have a rose comb.
