Breed ID Needed (w/Pics)

[brodysam]

I have some chickens that were given to me. I'd love help with breed ID as I can't remember what they are supposed to be. I think I know the one that is a BB Red game bird, but I need help. Here's the rooster that I think is the BB Red:

I think this hen is a cornish cross, but I don't know about the rooster. Any ideas on either?

Finally, this baby was an Easter chick and still has some of the orange left around her face. The others that came with her were all white leghorn roosters. However, she looks like a pullet to me, but I don't know what breed.

1. BBRed game of some type
2. Asil cockerel
3. Buff Orpington cockerel

So the last one, with the orange is a cockerel? I thought it was a pullet.

It looks like a cockerel to me because:

It look around 9 weeks old and already has red comb and wattles coming in.

It has a shorter tail than a pullet would have at the same age.


Leghorns mature faster...both males and females so different breeds can "throw" you when they are compared to Leghorns.

Thank you! He's very sweet and the tamest of all of the Easter chicks. I was intrigued when they started to get their feathers and I realized that he would not be a leghorn like his buddies.

Is it really his comb & wattles that are turning red, or is that remnants of the orange dye? Keeping my fingers crossed for you that it is a pullet.

Thanks. Rooster or hen, he/she will be staying with us. I've got some BO eggs in the incubator so maybe there will be some pullets to keep him company.
