Are they all roosters?!

I’m curious how Cluckingsworth looks now?

Cluckingsworth and her flockmate Not Cluckingsworth ended up being massive, up there in size with my jerseys and brahmas, a lot bigger than the other leghorns.

They were all pullets, and I lucked out on the dumbest, sweetest rooster from a friend with too many.

I'm having a super hard time determining what a male saddle feather looks like. Can someone maybe explain this like I'm five? Or is 8 weeks too young to tell?

Two chickens:

pullets have combs too but there always light in colour and very short, look for a dark red and a longer comb

Interesting. I believe it’s possible (depending on egg color) that they could be lakeshore eggers or Dixie rainbows.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised. They were advertised as "partridge leghorns" and came with all those chubby brown hens, but TSC also sold me three Cayuga ducklings as swedish blues, so it's kind of a toss of the dice as to what breeds you really get. I don't know exactly what colour shells they lay, either a rich brown, speckled brown, or cream, as that's the eggs I get (and a single, tiny powder blue one from my bantam EE)
