I have enjoyed chickens and when we moved to land we thought we’d start a flock. I hatched eggs from my family farm and one neighbor egg. Due to power outage we only had four hatch. I know three of them are from silkie hen and polish rooster. The neighbors egg no idea but it’s the big yellow one. I heard cock-a-doodling from coop today so I know I have a rooster but hopefully just one? Any thoughts?

The one standing on the entrance to the coop in the first picture is a female. The other buff silkie might be one-- need better pictures and its age.

The big buff one is a cockerel. I am undecided about the black and white silky cross. It looks like a boy, but knowing its age would help.
 
I will try to get better pictures of the buff silkie mixes.
My thought was black and white is the rooster he’s got some very pretty green iridescent feathers.
Had no idea about large buff since idk the breed either.
 
Wrong comb-type for orph, Most likely an orph mix with a rose-comb breed. The black one and the one in the door are silkie mixes, The buff silkie looks pure-bred.

Dang, I missed that. I don't pay attention for a couple weeks and then totally lose my skills!! LOL
 
Here are few more pictures.
