Beautiful East Texas
My son's class hatched these April 2013 and we brought them home. Anybody know what breed they are?? I've been thinking Buff Orpington and Welsummer. But I make no claims as to knowing anything about chickens.

It's hard to get a pic of these yellow boys that isn't blurry! They just won't be still!! Constantly struttin' their stuff!
 
You appear to have three Buff Orpingtons, and two Welsummers/Welsummer mixes. Both Welsummers are roosters, and one of the Buff Orpingtons is a rooster for sure, too. I can't exactly tell the gender of the other two Buff Orpingtons from the photos you provided, but they look like hens.
 
I think all 5 in the top picture are roosters. They sure act like it. The hens/pullets (not pictured) barely have a comb and they haven't turned red yet. They are just over 4 months old.
Thanks for they input! :)
 
I wasn't sure about the sex on two of those buff's for a long time because their tails don't stand out. They just kind of round off at their butts. So confusing. :(
