Auction! New birds and no idea the breed!

[Jkmartimar]

So, I just came back home with 15 birds that I have no idea what the breeds are and I am hoping they are all hens! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Most are female. Not all are.

Several if not all are mutts.

3rd picture shows a male

The lavender Orpington (pretty sure on breed) appears to be a male.

The lighter cuckoo one could be a male. Not quite sure.

The white Silkie cross may be a male, depending on age.

The ones with red combs now are cockerel, have to agree on cuckoo as it is lighter color and the comb but Welcome to Backyard Chickens where are you located please

Are you saying all the grey small chicks are lavender orpingtons?

Are you referring to the baby chicks that are grey? If they have a red comb then they are males? I am located in Landrum?

Sorry, Landrum, s.c.

Possibly. Need them to grow up a bit for better guesses.

Looks like you got a problem. This is your ordinance for keeping poultry:

We don’t live in the city limits! We live on 6 acres in Spartanburg county. No ordinances against livestock.
