Breed?

[BlessedChaosHomestead]

Got 6 from Assorted mix bin at Rural King yesterday for .99.

What breeds are they?
I think 2, 5 & 6 might be the same breed but 5 is extremely small. (And very lethargic.)

2,5, and 6 are Barred Rocks or Cuckoo Marans depending on if they develop yellow (Plymouth Rock) or pink (Marans) leg color. 1 is a Production or Rhode Island Red. 3 is a Columbian Wyandotte. 4 is a Buff Brahma.

Oh wow. Lol
I think Barred Rock, RIR, and Wyandotte are the only breeds that were mentioned along with Cinnamon Queen & maybe Sussex.

Is there a way to tell if it’s a production RIR or heritage?

Don’t lose hope on your #5. We had a chick that was the same way for quite a longer period of time and she had feathered in far later than all others. She felt like skin and bones for weeks. Would’ve sworn there was no way she’d survive. She was the runt of the group who got picked on and not really accepted by the others. Now she’s as big as the others, beautiful and tough as nails to her flock mates when they challenge her. My 2 runts that got picked on the most or given the hardest time are now probably 2 of the 4 toughest of the flock with the most heart and will when it comes to challenges of various sorts with others in the flock (chicken drama)

Both are pullets correct??
Or is 1st a cockerel? (Barred rocks since feet are yellow.)

Any help w the 2 above?

The comb on that first one makes me think maybe-cockerel, but I'm not entirely sure.

I would give them a few more weeks and see. Time usually makes these things more obvious, one way or the other.

Little update!
And you can see Baby is still doing great. I think she is a cuckoo madam though. She’s definitely smaller & her legs aren’t the same color as my barred rocks.
(All are female right?)

Yes, I think they are all female
