Breed and Gender thoughts

[MrsWinterWheat]

My friend had the majority of her flock taken by raccoons. She doesn’t have a heated coop so the ones that survived were not enough to keep warm in the size of the coop she has. So I told her I would take them. Not sure if they will integrate but we are going to attempt. I am pretty sure the muliti-colour one is a rooster (quite the lovely crow). There are 6 in total. I also think the fluffy face is an Easter egger hen. I got 1 cream egg on Thursday night/Friday morning and then a blue egg and a cream egg on Saturday (those two are pictured below).
There are:
- multi-colour
- fluffy face (?Easter egger)
- mostly black with white (?polish)
- mostly white with black face
- dark brown
- lighter brown (?silkie)
Thoughts on gender and breed?

That rooster looks like a blue laced red wyandotte, the dark red hen looks like a rhode island red, the fluffy faced does look like an easter egger and might be a rooster, not sure but that's quite a tail it's got. The brown one with the blue earlobes is probably a silkie. The white with dark face, I'm not exactly sure, possibly some kind of silkie cross with something else. The black and white one might be a polish, houdan have 5 toes and polish have 4 ? and I think they look similar otherwise. That's a really cool looking flock!

Thank you! It is quite the mix so I do hope that I can integrate them.
I am curious what the big rooster is like…my last one we had to cull cause of serious human aggression.

I should have at least 2 hens in the bunch, just trying to figure out who. I am leaning towards the Rhode Island Red (although I don’t think that it has laid the three I have found so far) and the white with black face. Also I was thinking the Easter egger was a hen also just for the fact that we have a blue/green egg. I don’t think the possible polish would lay that and it is too big for the possible silkie.

I’m thinking in your order

Rooster (unsure breed)
Easter egger
Silkie
Polish
Rhode Island red
Silkie

Wynadotte roosters can sometimes be jerks more than other breeds but it's not guaranteed so he may turn out to be an ok guy. The RIR hen should lay brown eggs and that's for sure a hen.

I think the rooster and the one hen you could call EEs. I don't see Wyandotte at all in him.
One with black face looks like a silkie or possible silkie mix. White one is a silkie mix.
Red one idk. I'd say RIR or production red but looks to have white shanks which wouldn't be correct. Could possibly have yellow skin but lost pigment in shanks since it's late in the laying season.

I have never had silkies so I am curious how they will fit in.

K! I have to get their ages from her as well…I know she said the mostly white one is over 4 years old. If the red one is older would that make it change it’s shank pigment?

Update
Confirmed that the one with the puffs is a hen and lays the light green/blue.
The dark red one also a hen and saw her lay this one.

Now just have to confirm who is laying the white/cream egg. So there should be three hens in total.

Unfortunately I am dealing with an egg eater. The puff hair black and white (who is now hei-hei cause they were insisting on pecking a golf ball that are in the nest ) was waiting for the red hen to lay. Legit stalking back and forth in front while the other one was all nestled in her laying spot. Then as soon as she laid the egg she pushed the hen out of the way to get to the egg. I was not fast enough and sure enough a hole pecked right in it!

The black and white one with the crest is a polish. That Brees lays white eggs so I'd suspect her.
