Can You Help Me Find Out What Breed These Chicks Are..

[Doodle_Doo]

one of my neighbors gave me six chicks at three days old because the hen for some reason wouldnt take care of them...she gave me these but i have no idea what they are, and she doesnt know either..here is one of the males..or at least i think it is, this one and three others have the comb and are this coloration..

the other two dont have a comb or have this coloration they are lighter brown..they are five weeks old going on six this friday..

this was the best pic of my neighbors rooster..she says its about a year and a half old..the hen is about the same size but a spotten cinnamon color..but the male doesnt have a comb at all..how can that be? it also doesnt have the waddle??
would these chicks be standard or bantam just by looking at the roo?

They look like wellies

Bantam or standard?

Ha- you posted this twice. I agree- welsummers. The roo is in the first pic, girls in the other. They look standard- if you compare feathering and size of the hand.

I think they have pea comb and look more Game to me.Female Welsumer has brown patern.This female is mostly Wheaten.

American Gamefowl.. Yes they're pea combed. And yellow legs.. So could possibly be sweater or yellow legged hatch in origin.

The father rooster has most likely been "dubbed"...he has had the comb and wattles cut off. I watched a ex BF and his father do this to their game roosters....all I can say is "Ouch!"

Dubbed?
what is that for?
does it have any benifits?

Show, prevention of frostbites, rebalancing the rooster if the comb gets too large, etc.
