Are all these the same breed?

[Otterpup1967]

3 more chickens from the same batch of "rainbow pullets" I got from a local farm store. (About half of the pullets are turning out to be cockerels and I think two of these might be.)

Does anyone know what breed they might be and verify whether two are cockerels, while one is a pullet?

TIA!!

Hoover Hatchery. I've bought from them directly in the past before, as well and didn't have good luck. Will never buy anything from them again.

Most of their "breeds" aren't breeds, but mixed breeds. Hard saying what all is in the mix, but these are definitely mixed breeds.

How old are they? If they are around 12 weeks or under, the last two are cockerels. Second one definitely is.

Most hatchery sexed chicks have a 90% accuracy rate. I would say buying 30 and only getting 3 males is spot on. Pretty lucky actually.

These are only 3 that I'm asking about in this thread. The actual ratio of cockerels to pullets is working out to be more like 70% cockerel.

I'm not sure what their breed is, but I am going to say that all three are cockerels. I'm almost for sure that the second one is, he has a lot of comb development. For the first one, I'm leaning more on the pullet side but there is still a chance of it being a male.

Ok, well now, that’s crazy!

Even for if they were being sold as straight run and not as pullets. Sheesh!

I am going to say cockerals..

All three? The comb on the one is so much smaller, I feel like at least she's a pullet. That is, if they're all the same breed.

They look all like the same breed, but rainbow runners are mixed breeds i think. What age are they? The first one may be a pullet but im betting its a cockeral.

They're just 3 of about 30 that I bought as "rainbow pullets" (NEVER again!) So, I think there are only probably a dozen or so different breeds, therefore, duplicates of certain ones maybe.
