Can anyone tell me what breed these guys and gals are

[Cgipson]

We bought these guys as chicks from TS and cant remember what breed they are as we are trying to find some more info on them

All of your red ones are red six links. Your black ones are silkie mixes.

I agree 100% with FuzzyCritters!
Unusual to get silkie mixes from TSC, they do source from different places, though. They are gorgeous!

With all that black that look like they might be part Ayam cemani!

Any idea what they might have mixed with the silkies?

None of them have started laying is why we was trying to figure out their exact breed or close to it to look them up and see about at what age they should start laying

The silkie mix with the gold feathers is a cockerel. The rest are pullets.

Sex links should lay by 20 weeks, can vary.
Silkies start laying between 7-9 months.
Mixes will likely be earlier. Not sure what they are mixed with

Counting from the day we bought them they should be about 5 months to 5 months and 2 weeks. Was on starter feed up until about 3 months ago then switched to layer mash feed
